Editorial Reviews

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.

Died after 4 Months

Reviewed by J. Henry, 2010-03-08

This router worked great for me until it suddenly stopped working after about 4 months. The Linksys support wasn't that great and they informed me they couldn't do anything because the warranty expired a few months ago. They then told me they would give me a discount on a new router. Much to my dismay I found this discount was actually 10 dollars more than it is listed for on many web sites and in stores such as Walmart. Overall I was pretty disappointed with Linksys.

Fast wireless connection

Thrilled with the product, but confused with the installation. Turns out I didn't have the switch on laptop turned on for WiFi. I contacted Linksys tech support for assistance and agreed to allow them to take over the computer remotely; however, they were unable to make the connection so after 20 minutes or so, he just walked me through it. Unfortunately, I was charged $9.95 for a service I did not receive as there is supposed to be no charge for the tech support to walk me through the steps, only if they remotely access the computer. I contacted Linksys and explained what happened and they did not refund this $9.95 charge on my account. The product works very well, but I am disappointed with tech and customer support.

Good Router

I almost don't like the level of automation in setting up the router. The software extracts the setup from your existing router and then, after you install this unit it performs all the setup. My only problem was that everything did not work correctly and I had to manually configure the unit anyway. It still a good unit and I shouldn't complain.

Best home wireless router

Reviewed by Bhavin Javia, 2010-03-03

I am a guy who's totally dependent on wireless internet connectivity while at work or home. I was traveling to US and forgot to pack my pocket wireless router. Ordered this router immediately after arriving in the US. After the quick shipment, it was time to unpack and install the router. The installation was as smooth as it can be and I was up and running in 5 minutes. The speed was comparable to the wired (ethernet) connection. But, I guess it was a little less that the fat cable. The router worked flawlessly since the time I plugged it in till the time I unplugged it and packed my bags after 3 months of continuos, flawless performance. This is one gadget I won't forget to pack on my next international trip.
