I bought this router to replace a D-Link DI-624 which is a piece of junk. This router is 100 times better, but I do miss some of the more advanced features of the DI-624.
I have a Mac/PC environment, both wired and wireless. When I got this router it didn't so much even mention the Mac, which is stupid. Setup, Linksys describes it, amounts to running a Windows program, which may or may not find your connected router. If it doesn't, your basically out of luck. In reality, you can connect this router up to either a Mac, PC, or Unix box, and get it configured without any utility. Just communicate with it, set the IP correctly, then hook it up normally using its web pages.
The problem with the Linksys method of configuration it that its not likely to work for beginners, and is too basic for advanced users. Oh, well, someday they will learn that Windows setup "helpers" are not the way to go, or at least not the only way to go.
In any case, this router is a pl

I just purchased the wireless router due to being in a new apartment where i have 2 computers and a PS2 that use my cable modem. I bought the router with the matching wireless-g network cards and proceed to install. After a grueling 4 hours I've finally managed to install(correctly) and troubleshoot all problems that have arised(thus far). My advice, if you buy the network card and router, install both at the same time.

Had no trouble getting on line with this linksys router, after a quick call to tech support, which was my error, I already had a linksys card for my laptop, but I needed the new driver installed on the laptop for the Speedbooster, which works just fine with the g card. After that little problem was solved I was up and running. There website is very good at solving a problem or for support.
When I've had to call linksys for support I had no problems, and they solved it in minutes.
The range of the router goes about 60 ft. for sure, I have the router at one end of our house and can get service to the other end. I,ve used it outside on the porch with no problems. I've also had no problems with a cordless phone interfering with the router.
In all I am very satisfied with the Linksys 54GS speedbooster router, I did look at all routers and choose the 54GS for it's speed, name, and other reviews I read, and have no regrets!

In countries where houses made from concrete the wireless thing is next to nothing with range of not more than 3 rooms
If you use the ethernet then its better then the dlink router which had to be reset everyday

I bought the WRT54GS router from Linksys to rreplace the 5 y/o previous model router....
The older one was lossing it and it was a pain in the Ass to watch her take off.
The older model was very difficult to use and was going out repeatedly. This cause us to have it re-set time and time again.
Our movie model one was easy to make and repeated use of it.

I bought this router for a good basic home network. It works good for a basic home network. The wired portion runs at its full speed. The wireless portion is the problem. I have two laptops, and yes both can be used at the same time to run the internet, but setting up a home wireless network takes some skill (unless you want to sacrifice your "safety" of the firewall).
Also, I can be sitting about 10 ft from the router and I can watch the signal go up and down on my laptop. I wouldnt be moving the laptop and it would drop. This may be because of other factors (same frequency devices), but I highly doubt it, seeing as how I have changed the settings multiple times.
If you need a good home network and dont really care about some signal lose every now and then, than thise is a cheap way of getting it. I would suggest it, if you dont have the money for the newer hardware.

This wireless router would be great if it did not disconnect me every day. I've continually had problems with the connection, with the performance getting progressively worse in the last 2 weeks (I've had the router for 2 months). When it drops my service, I have to reset it by turning it off/on again otherwise it will not even see a wireless service in range. I have 4 computers at home and use it mainly for online gaming with the occasional streaming episodes of lost and heroes. Trying to watch those are a pain because it will disconnect me while watching. Overall beware as this router is feast or famine!
