Linksys WRT54GS2 Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster Technology

Linksys WRT54GS2 Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster Technology

It's really three devices in one box. 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.

I really like this router it seems to work well. The only problem I have is that it keeps wanting me to upgrade the software. They do not tell you there is an added expense when you buy it. I haven't upgraded the software and everything seems to work fine except for the nagging. It is really easy to setup and use. I hard wire a desktop and I also wireless a laptop. Get great reception and intruders are blocked.

WRT54GS2 ROUTER, 03/05/2010
By Lovescorgis, Sevierville, TN
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Allthough I am very computer literate, this router is super, super easy to install right out of the box. I would say almost anyone could install this if they knew nothing about networking and have a home network set up, provided of course, they have either DSL or Cable Broadband in their home. Set up took no more than 15 minutes and we had wi-fi throughout the house.

I am very happy that, I chose to purchase this Cisco Linksys router. This router is easy to setup and get running. The shared connection is fast! As soon as I turn on my laptop, the internet comes in within seconds. So far, I have not experience any problems with this router. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone.

I was worried the setup would be confusing, but it was not. It took less than 10 minutes to set and hook up the router, and I am now running on a wireless network. I would recommend this product to anyone and everyone.

great product!!, 02/11/2010

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

At first I was kind of skeptical being that this was only 45$, but I gave it a try. I hooked this up, it only took me about 10min, and then bought a roku for netflix. Every movie or tv show takes maybe 15sec to download and never pauses to load during play. I do have the highest speed cable internet so im sure that plays a big part, but I love this thing!! Great price and great product, would buy it again for sure!

DO NOT BUY THIS ROUTER WITH WINDOWS 7...

There is no support on Ciscos site for this for windows 7. It abended windows 3 times when trying to connect and they have no downloadable firmware. What a waste of my time. Netgear router was no problem, Cisco has no help for you for this troublesome router, I rebooted 3 times because it will crash your system. BACK TO WALMART IT GOES RIGHT NOW.

This is an excellent router in this price range. Installation is extremely simple and fast. If you do have trouble their support page is very helpful and easy to navigate. Also, for Windows 7 installation you may need the latest firmware installed, which is available at this link:

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

This is a great router and works good. It has a good range, speed. I was surprise it works that good for the price. Sometimes you have to buy the most expensive ones to get what you looking for but not with this product. I recommended it to people who live in an apartment. I have a 2flr and it works as good upstairs too.

Amazing connection......frustrating to install, 01/14/2010
By Melsto, Rocky, OK
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

I will start by saying that after I finally got the router working it has been wonderful. I have my Wii, PS3, and a lap top connected. They all run smooth and fast. The process getting there was frustrating. After installing the router I had internet for a minute at a time and then I had to constantly repair the connection. My problem turned out that I needed a password update for my modem. I went to so many forums for help and finally just started clicking on the "more" links that accompany the settings when you type the linksys ip address into the address bar. You go to the wireless heading and then you choose the advanced wireless settings and on the side there is information and it says there is more so I clicked on that and it gives you the transmission settings and explains reasons for the settings.

WIRELESS SECUREMENT, 12/14/2009
By LDOLPHIN
Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 3 out of 5

Although product is easy to install, wireless securement must be purchased separately online. I wish this would be mentioned on product box. What manufacturer mentions is only safe and secure wireless connections. No mention of separate purchase for wireless securement.
