The Linksys WRT54GL Wireless Router has tools and power to network every device in your home with ease. In fact, it’s actually three devices in one. 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 making the WRT54GL a simple solution for complete home and office networking.

Flaky! Connectivity goes up and down all the time.

No
Up again, down again, up again
This router has been flaky, flaky, flaky since the day I bought it. I use it with a pair of Linksys wireless-G cards, inside a 2 bedroom apartment, and while signal strength is usually "good" or better, I am constantly losing my connection to the internet...

Unfortunately the Internet was further away than I was willing to stretch that nice blue cable to connect to it. I set out to purchase a...

Pros
Easy to set up, upgrade, backup.
Cons
Firmware upgrade wipes out settings.
Recommended it?
Yes
I first bought this router because it was the cheapest N-draft router but I have been pleasantly surprised. I replaced a Linksys G router (WRT54GL) which I had to reboot all the time.
