Summary: Annoying product and customer service
Comment: This item shipped fast from Amazon (3 days), but the product and customer service are annoying. The installation cd did not do the auto-setup that everyone talks about, even though I have XP. Had to call the special Linksys customer service line specially designated for Amazon, supposedly faster and better than Linsys proper. The first person who answered is rude. Then I waited for 25 minutes to get someone on line, only after literally, going thru over 25 menu options to get to a technician. The technician worked thoroughly and carefully to get everything done, but it was a 45 minute trouble-shooting process. Downloaded firmware and set up the router manually, and even had to assign a new IP address to my computer. All that and I ony get one reception bar and intermittant connectivity in my art studio, which is about 100 feet from the router.

Summary: Works great
Comment: The router does everything I hoped it would do. It's such a pleasure to be able to sit anywhere in the house and surf the internet, and share files back and forth. The router was easy to install and worked right away.

Summary: Works Fine but setup is not easy
Comment: I bought this item today. I am into software so I know to some extent what I was doing to setup the router. I have 2 laptops(Windows XP,Vista ). First connected the router followed the instructions by the CD and switched on the router the software was not deducting the router and said error 322 router not found.
Tried several times, same result in both the laptops with different operating systems.Reset the modem, router still same issues. The software still could not go beyond detecting the router. Finally gave up and called the customer service. Like a reviewer earlier said it was frustrating, I had to drop off the call and try myself. Unsuccessful I called again and this time a lady walked me through the set up. They basically make you ping your local host via the IE and setup the rest of the installation for you. Overall it took me 2.5 hours to set up the router. The performance of the router is very good. That's why 4 stars.
But I am not sure why the software would not deduct the router in first place. When router is deducted, setup is a breeze in 5 mts. The firmware says v7.2.

Summary: Works as claimed
Comment: I am a Verizon DSL and iMac user of no great technical prowess. To enable my son to go online with his Dell laptom, I added the Linksys WRT54Gs to the mix. Setup required a toll-free call to Linksys technical support--it turned out that the Westell 6100 DSL modem and the Linksys WRT54GS had the same default IP address assignment. The tech guided me through changing the Linksys' IP. Since then, everything has worked without problems. The router's signal is adequate for our 3-bedroom house.

Summary: Freedom
Comment: Freedom from going into the basement to the main computer.Two bars from the basement to the second floor on the other side of the house gives good quick response to internet access. The only problem was the set up, for some reason I had a very hard time setting up and then making the system secure. Finally it is set up and working well for over a month now.
