The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect both screaming fast Wireless-G (802.11g at 54Mbps) and Wireless-B (802.11b at 11Mbps) devices to the network. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Connect four PCs directly, or attach more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.

Once your computers are connected to the Router and the Internet, they can communicate with each other too, sharing resources and files. All your computers can print on a shared printer connected anywhere in the house. And your computers can share all kinds of files -- music, digital pictures, and documents. Keep all your digital music on one computer, and listen to it anywhere in the house. Organize all of your family's digital pictures in one place, to simplify finding the ones you want, and easing backup to CD-R. Utilize extra free space on one computer when another's hard drive starts to fill up.

The new Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature makes it easy to configure your wireless devices. Just push the button on the router and on your other Wi-Fi Protected Setup-enabled wireless device to automatically create a WPA2 connection that protects your data and privacy with up to 256-bit industrial-strength encryption. The Router can serve as a DHCP Server, has a pow

I recently purchased this for my new apartment because the cable company informed me that they don't supply a router with their data package. After much research, I chose the Cisco-Linksys G Band router. I was going to opt for the N-Band. But decided against the purchase due to my apartment being small and my computer not beig N compatible. I'm glad that I went with the Linksys. You can't go wrong with this model.

Network Magic started notified me that I needed to upgrade the firmware in this router, so I did. After that, it would require a power cycle every fifteen minutes or so (wired and wireless quit working). I read on the forums that you have to do a complete 'reset' on the unit after upgrading the firmware (don't know why Linksys didn't tell me about that when I downloaded the firmware). After that, the router would intermitently just quit working about once a day. I replaced it yesterday with a newer (80211.n) model, hope it works out better than this one did.

Don't know if it was me or just the router but it was slow and when i got some kind of response it kept asking for the password.
I am the only user so tried everything I could to surpass this constant prompt.
Also was not recognized by my laptop after repeatedly going thru the steps.
PIA!

I ordered this router on 5/25, and got it on 5/26 with one day shipping from Amazon Prime. Setup took a few minutes and was incredibly easy. It's very light and is small enough that it can be placed almost anywhere. I've had no problems with reception or performance. I've used it for wireless access with all sorts of gadgets: my laptop, a Wii, an iPod Touch, etc. It costs a little bit less than other routers, but it was definitely a good deal for the money.
