Product Description
The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is three devices in one. The Wireless Access Point lets you connect both 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. The Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. All your computers can print on a shared printer connected anywhere in the house. Your computers can share all kinds of music, digital picture, and document files. The 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 powerful SPI firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks, supports VPN pass-through, and can be configured to filter internal users' access to the Internet. Advanced configuration is a snap with the web-browser-based interface.

 Easy to configure December 2, 2008
MARK VANDEWIEL (San Francisco, CA USA)
This router is very easy to configure, most certainly for someone who has configured a Cisco router before. Basic settings are the same and are also configured in the same way as for other wireless Cisco routers.
I used this router to replace an old Wireless B router and wireless is a lot more robust and faster (both for Windows and using Linux).
Value for money is very good for this product.

Michael E. Boyd (Mercer Island, Washington USA)
After purchasing a Macbook, this was a replacement for a Linksys wired router I was using. Easiest installation and set up of any router I've used to date. I bought it within the last 90 days, so I can not comment yet on how long it will last. However, I have had better luck with Linksys than with other routers I've used in the past (I've had bad experiences with Belkin and Netgear products in the past). The range on this seems only a little better than other wireless routers I've used in the past. I live in a ranch style house, and due to interference only about half the house is within range of the wireless signal.
 Easy setup, short range November 28, 2008
Patrick Berry
All the reviews that talk about the ease of use are entirely on the money. My problem came with the range of the device. It had issues even keeping a strong signal for 50ft. I was worried it had to do with the materials in our walls, but a TRENDnet device came in a did the job.

Can't go wrong with this router. I installed it in 30 minutes , now I have my wired desktop PC , wireless laptop and PS3 sharing files. The range is pretty good and the ability to wirelessly filter MAC address is perfect.

This router is great - easy to set up, even with a mac (you've got to get a little creative and can't use the stupid CD that comes with it)
