there are awsome routers. if u load it with the dd-wrt it works amazing rarely have to reboot it. very good wireless connection

The best, most solid 54MB router on the market for tech people. However, it's not for the average consumer who will never flash it etc.. There are other Linksys products for them :)

Throw away the startup disk, use the web interface at 192.168.1.1. Flashed ddwrt onto it, works great as a client bridge.

By far the best router I have ever owned. Flashed it with tomato the day I set it up and it has been online for 125 days straight with no drop  in performance! I download on multiple connections and have 3 computers hooked up to it and notice no drop  in connection when using all three. Awesome router!

So far, so good. I replaced a 14 month new WRT-310N with this; the 310N had an overheat problem that I think shortened the life span. Anyway I like the external antenna, and the fact the base OS is open source. I'm a tad dissapointed with the range; not much better signal at the far end of the house than the 310N, but I did improve the range with small parabolic antenna add-ons. Aside from that, I have spoken to a great many folks who use this brand Linksys and have had nothing but good things to say about it. Plan to upgrade to the dd-wrt firmware as that seems to help the range as well.

All I did is flash it with dd-wrt v24 and juiced up the transmitting power and boom ! fantastic coverage throughout my concrete wall apartment . get it while you can ! you never know !

My teenagers were very pleased with this router. Son loves how it works with his games and daughter can use her laptop more efficiently.

I purchased this so that I could communicate with my boyfriend while he is stationed in Saudi Arabia and he really likes it. I asked if he has had any issues and he said absolutely none. I would buy again.

As good as the hype. Wireless connection never cut-out unlike other brand new routers. Running Tomato firmware, which is awesome.

Comment:
allows for great configuration flexibility, provides every commonly available option as well as just about the best in terms of broad compatibility of home routers/firewall/access-point. it does it all brilliantly.

This became my second WRT54GL, after having one for over a year. Both were flashed with DD-WRT. Using it currently to share an internet connection to another building on the property. Worked far better than I expected. At least 200 ft and a few walls stand in the way, but I can get almost full speed in the other building.

Great Product, using DD-WRT and it runs beautifully!

Comment:
Replaced a Belkin with this router and found Linksys to be so much better! Throw the setup disk away as you won't need it. It causes more problems than it solves.

I have been using LINKSYS Products. Ethernet Cable DSL Routers and Hubs for the last 6 years, So when it came time to order a Wireless Router for my Laptop I Ordered this model. I received it in 2 days and installation was a snap!and was up and running in no time. My laptop picks up an excellent signal any were in my house and even in the back yard. Will definitely continue buying linksys products.

We have been using one of these for about the last eighteen months. Flashed it with Tomato, fine tuned it to output 150%, run MAC address security. We cover a four story 6500 sq. ft. apartment building and the surrounding yard with out a glitch! Five Star Product

This is a long overdue review as I ordered one back in June. Followed through with the instructions on the website instead of the mini-CD that came with it. I'm talking about easy till the point of dummy proof. Wireless is awesome and I can get a signal 30 feet away. This router will continue to get good reviews, nothing I can add.

Comment:
This product was EASY to install and has performed better than I expected. My daughter's MAC Pro is connected to it and she loves it. I would recommend it to everyone.

Comment:
Like many others, as soon as I received this device, I flashed it with a 3rd party firmware, in this case, Tomato. No trouble ever since, solid signal, and even when boosting the antenna output to 70mw there's still no noticeable heat increase! It's sitting in a closet right now along with my cable modem, and possibly a small file server soon too. The closet remains below room temperature. Overall, highly recommended, very solid showing from Linksys/Cisco, as long as you upgrade that firmware!

I have purchased 5 of these routers for myself and friends. Tomato Firmware is the best and it never breaks on me. Excellent router for it's value. Cannot wait until an N router can use custom firmware as well too.

I got this for my apartment and it works. I'm not into flashing the firmware, so keeping it simple and using a bit of encryption has been relatively easy. The speed is good: I downloaded an 11mb email in roughly 20-30 seconds (I have a good internet cable connection), which is more than fine. I haven't done any gaming so I can't speak to that personally.At 60$, it's a steal, even if it doesn't do N. This review was modfied by poster @ 09-24-09 09:09 AM

Router arrived promptly, worked perfectly, though I didn't use the set up disk, once I had it set up. Range works fine for me one story house and the backyard, never seems to drop signal. Perfect for my needs.

Comment:
good router, easy to set up, and a good deal...

I just got this router recently seeing I found no need to really to move on to draft N at the moment. What I discovered was that, this router povides a much much stronger signal than my old dead D-Link ever did even when it was new. I also found that the signal is very stable and worked well with my wireless D-Link card in my old pc with out much configeration having to be done on the router's settings... unlike the periodical drops my dead D-Link router provided. I jsut hope that this router lasts much longer then my previouse router.PS. though one thing that did concern me for a bit there was once or twice on a comp that was connected to the router by wire experienced a disconnection for a few secs. But that was early on and haven't really noticed it ever since.

The thing works great after flashing to tomato firmware, the build quality could be improved. Great value.
