Extremely Pleased! [Posted on 2008-12-24]
I am extremely pleased with the Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router. I did not realize when I purchased same that it does NOT replace the cable modem. But that was fine because my computer is in another room far from the modem. The Linksys router is connected to the modem. My computer is not wireless. I have a long ethernet cord connected from the router to my computer. The performance is excellent! I highly recommend this product. The router has four ethernet ports allowing up to, obviously, four computers to be connected. This would include the master computer which has the cable modem hooked up to the router. One added note, with a wireless-G adapter, this router supports same. All the way around, it is an excellent purchase.
Hangs every 5 min [Posted on 2008-12-26]
please save your money, this router worked fine for 2 month, now it hangs after just 5 min.

This product overall works fine. It gave me a few problems to start but works now.
User Friendliness - circa 1985 [Posted on 2008-12-30]
If you enjoyed computing in the days of the Commodore 64, and hey, who didn't, then this is the router for you!
First the boring stuff: the router is acceptable in terms of performance, though in an older house you'll have trouble getting a signal twenty-five feet away because of the thicker walls.
The real fun comes in setting up, or in my case re-setting up the modem. Let the adventures in user friendliness begin! Check out this link for a preview of what you have in store:

None of this graphical user interface nonsense for Linksys, we're back in the glory days of eight hour installs (Pool of Radiance, anyone?), physical copy protection and "press play on tape" if you forgot to tell the computer that your program was on the floppy drive not teh tape player.
Searching for the Router takes a full minute. The thing is directly connected to the computer and it takes a minute to find. "Make sure the internet light is blinking", great strategy, thanks Napoleon! Linksys has a great way of helping you when your router cannot find the internet, you just chat online with one of their techs. I'll let you know how that turns out. I am 36th in line after a mere 15 minute wait.
Go ahead, buy this router, everyone else does. But if you get it working, never ever touch anything ever again. Ever. Unless you want to experience the 1980s again. Excuse me while I press "play on tape".
Linksys Wireless Router - Plug and Play [Posted on 2009-01-05]
Very straight forward set-up of the unit. No installation CD required (although it prompted to run it first). Easy disabling of wireless access of the unit's set-up. Last in chain of cable modem, digital voice modem and wireless router, but it all reboots after power failures and glitches without intervention.
