Product Guides
 
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.

Once your computers are connected to the Router and the Internet, they can communicate with each other too, sharing resources and files. All your computers can print on a shared printer connected anywhere in the house. And your computers can share all kinds of files -- music, digital pictures, and documents. Keep all your digital music on one computer, and listen to it anywhere in the house. Organize all of your family's digital pictures in one place, to simplify finding the ones you want, and easing backup to CD-R. Utilize extra free space on one computer when another's hard drive starts to fill up.

The new 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.

With the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router at the center of your home or office network, you can share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers, and multi-player games with flexibility, speed, security and simplicity!

5 of 5 Love It!!! Tuesday, November 17, 2009
A Customer from St. CLoud, FL  

I had a problem with it working when I used the cd for installation but I contacted my internet provider and they walked me through the installation and it works great. I was told not to use the cd next time-word of advice. Other than that, it works great and it was a great price. Shipping was also very fast, I am very satisfied overall.

5 of 5 Great Router Saturday, September 19, 2009
A Customer from Brighton, Co  
This router is working perfectly. Didn't use the setup disk, just plugged in and worked. So far no problems. The wireless has great signal strength even though the antenna is internal.

5 of 5 Stylish AND Works Great! Wednesday, April 29, 2009
A Customer from Chicago, IL  
Bought two of these for two different friends. Setup of both was extremely simple. Everyone loves the sleeker black look and smaller profile (As opposed to the big blue one with antenas sticking up). Looks MUCH nicer on a shelf. Oh, and it also functionally works extremely well. Neither person has had any issues with it.

5 of 5 Great wireless router Wednesday, April 15, 2009
A Customer from San Jose, California  
Prior to this, I had a Treadnet router, which occassionally kept dropping connections, and produced poor performance. I have been using the Linksys router for the past month - no dropped connections and excellent performance. I also like the asthetics of the router.

5 of 5 Easy Setup Tuesday, March 03, 2009
Whoa! from Dupont, WA  
The setup couldn't have been any easier that it was. Just follow the step by step directions and you'll be up in about 15 minutes (less if you have a knack for installs of these types). Only toward the very end of the install did I wonder if I had messed anything up, and I didn't. Good stuff and I would recommend and buy again.

5 of 5 No Problems Monday, March 02, 2009
Norm from Gainesville, VA  
Have set up several of these and usually they are problem free -- on rare occasions may have to call Linksys support. Set this one up without using Linksys software. Used WEP encryption which is least problem for residential customers. Buy.com usually has the best price (especially with free shipping) and delivery is very fast.

5 of 5 Worked perfectly right out of the box Wednesday, February 18, 2009
Mike B from New Berlin, WI  
I ordered this router to replace a Trendnet router I got about a year ago that had problems connecting with my laptop after the laptop would go into sleep mode. That pretty much made my wife give up on using the new laptop. She showed some renewed interest, so I bought this Linksys router hoping for better luck. It installed itself and has worked seamlessly from day one. I wish I would have skipped my "great deal" on the Trendnet and bought a Linksys router from the start.

5 of 5 Flawless Performance Wednesday, February 18, 2009
A Customer from Waxhaw, NC  
The sleek black case appealed to our teenage son, who bought this router for me for my birthday. It's been running flawlessly since the day we got it set up. Our only problem was with the setup disk. Once it was up and running, the instructions were very clear and led us through the setup process step by step. But the underlying Miscrosoft Installation (MSI) ran really slow on our Windows XP computer. Also we could never access the Users Manual (pdf format) which came on the CD -- the Linksys interface balked every time, saying we needed to update to Adobe Reader 8, even though we had Adobe Reader 9 already running on our computer. After several unsuccessful attempts, we finally went online and downloaded the manual from the Linksys website -- problem solved.

5 of 5 As advertised Wednesday, February 11, 2009
Jen from Minneapolis  
After several complaints to our DSL provider, we realized that they were not the problem, but our old Wireless -B router from Linksys...too slow. It served us well for many years. So we upgraded to the same brand - took me 1/2 hour to set up our home system with WPA encryption. Easy, easy, easy, and we can now watch streaming video online...which was our big problem with the old B router. So, it did the trick for a nice price - and a much smaller sleeker profile that the old router.

Very easy to setup and use, but the range wasn't as good as the old Linksys Wireless-B router that I wanted to replace, so I returned it and am still on the old Linksys.

4 of 5 Good Router for Price Tuesday, January 27, 2009
A Customer from Cogan Station, PA  
The router was easy to install and connect to my devices in my house. The only flaw is that there are dead spots in my house, which will probably happen with any router.

5 of 5 Great so far Saturday, January 10, 2009
S S from Oviedo, FL  
We had a D-Link which was good for 3 years. It went out and I was told to buy a Linkys and so far so good. It was easy to install and set up and have not had any issues to date. I hope it lasts more than 3 years....

channe from mich  
I upgraded from my old Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G.to this router well there's really no difference. The set on this router is very easy. This router is smaller and looks much better no more antennas sticking up. For the price why not.

5 of 5 Works well, wasy setup Sunday, December 28, 2008
A Customer from Syracuse, NY  
Set this up for a Mac OS X network and did not use Easy Setup disc. Still, very easy like all linksys products. One downside is that it does not appear you can set one (or more) IPs as fixed w/DHCP which is very helpful for network printing. Highly recommended.

5 of 5 Pretty easy setup Friday, December 19, 2008
Rick from Boerne, Texas  
This is a good performing wireless hub and it has a low profile with decent looks. As for setup, the instructions were not very clear if you had a wired network and you were adding this to it so that I could use my laptop all over the house. It also does not let my laptop see the other computers on my wired network, but I am sure this can be remedied once I find the correct adjustments.

5 of 5 Linksys Router a Snap to Install Tuesday, October 14, 2008
csw1 from Sylvania, Ohio  
Our Linkysis WRT54G Wireless-G Broadband Router was a snap to install and use. We had an existing Linksys router working appropriately for almost seven years. We only replaced it because we assumed that its useful lifetime had passed. Now, we have a spare router. The WRT54G is much more attractive, easy to install and provides a useable signal throughout all of our five bedroom, three story home. I would recommend Linksys routers to anyone.

5 of 5 Sexy Looking Router But Still a Workhorse Friday, July 25, 2008
A Customer from Westland, MI  
I upgraded to this WRT54G2 from the old WTR54G router. I've always liked Linksys easy to use and just a solid workhorse. Also they have a lot options and are very compatible with just about anything. Don't care to have the Wireless N standard yet because its still in Draft. Once its complete I will upgrade then. For now the Wireless G works great. Definitely a good choice to buy.

This is pretty good router for the price. For the Mac users out there, you should either get something else or be sure to have a PC handy for the couple of minutes it takes to set this up.

5 of 5 No "6" for value and ease of use. Saturday, June 28, 2008
The SakDaddy from DeGraff, OH  
Open box, unpack, plug in, watch it generate a signal. Open Laptop..bingo. Small, very attractive high gloss black unit, powerful, secure and at a VERY reasonably price. No "6" for value and ease of use. Fired up out of the box. I later went back in to install the CD and lock it down using security features, found the installation animations were excellent for even the most novice consumer. What is your credit card security/privacy worth? Encryption and firewall are state of the art at the consumer level. Lyncsys was purchased by CISCO not too long ago so it had better be very reliable and secure. Very Very pleased. Goods received swiftly in excellent condition AGAIN. I live very rural and fuel costs entered into the equation to order on-line from Buy.com--Excellent Service!!!

5 of 5 Easy to use, nice to look at, and performs great. Monday, June 02, 2008
Deric Lee from Twin Falls, ID  
I purchased this router to use with my lap top and Wii. My current DSL modem has wireless built in but is always dropping the signal(additionally I am switching to a Broadband provider that does not provide wireless solutions). I opened the box and immediatly plugged the router into the power outlet and into my current DSL modem(ignoring the "USE CD FIRST" message plasterd all over the box and router). It started broadcasting a signal right away that my lap top piced up, I accessed the routers software using it's I.P. address(found on one of the quick guids in the box) and set up the security and BAM! done. Over the last week I've had no problems at all, the connection issues I was having with my modem's built in wireless are solved, I can connect all through out my home and the router looks very good grouped up with the rest of my electronics in my entertainment center.
