As you are making a purchase decision, we suggest that you take the time to read some WRT54GL Linksys Router reviews in order to see what other consumers have to say about the product. Here are some user reviews to help you make your shopping decision:

I recently purchased this wireless router for my home network and have been very pleased with its performance. The router was easy to set - it was up and running within an hour, with secure admin login, WPA-PSK security and AES encryption out of the box. The signal range is also great. I was at least 50 yards away and had a strong signal through trees and apartments without the slightest hint of degradation.

Also if you like to mess with things, the third-party firmware updates are great. They will increase the performance of this router to a level greater than its competitors.

Do yourself a favor and buy this router, and you won't be sorry.

Do not buy the WRT54G, spend the extra $15 and get this model (WRT54GL). The extra memory and flash make it well worth it, especially if you spend a lot of time online using different programs. The functionality of the system is superb and wasn't a problem to setup and get connected to the internet using Bellsouth/FastAccess DSL. This router connects up my 3 PC's, 2 laptops, and an xBox without any issues.

If using this router and you are technically minded I recommend installed DD-WRT firmware as it's advanced feature set is great and loosens the restrictions some of the settings of the Linksys firmware.

I just implemented this router in my home wireless network after my old Buffalo Tech router died last night.

I am an IT type and Linksys products are the default products for small networks for our remote offices.

I found the initial set up to be very easy even if you are not an IT Pro, this product has very good security features, that everyone should use....YES, please don't set up a wireless network at home or work and leave it open.

The signal strength is excellent, now I have a good signal in some corners of my house where before it was marginal at best.

And for the adventurous types this router also supports third party software like Sveasoft, that might be my next week end project.

In a nutshell, if you are looking for a good solid wireless router buy the WRT54GL.

I was using a Belkin "G" router and it was giving me a download speed of 500 kbps...with an ethernet cable even. I stumbled upon some articles about this router and bought it hoping for the best.

I now get a speed in excess of 5000 kbps! Wired or wireless!

This router is excellent...HIGHLY recommended!

And all this time I've been blaming ComCast! My bad.

This router is very stable. It always works 100% of the time. You never get a dropped connection. This is in contrast to all the horror stories I've heard from people who bought other brands of routers, and get dropped connections and reception problems. This WRT54GL Linksys has excellent range. It has an excellent hardware firewall. I replaced the stock Linksys firmware with the Linux DD-WRT v23 SP2 [...], and it enabled a large number of new features. This new firmware turned a $60 router into a $600 router. You can setup VPN, use speed boost, extend the range, overclock the 200 MHZ CPU of the router, etc, etc, etc... I would definately buy this again. Make sure you buy the WRT54GL and not the WRT54G (as the WRT54G can't accept the Linux firmware).

I purchased the WRT54GL router because my previous router (WRT54G) worked perfectly with my Windows PC's and Laptops, but would freeze the entire network when I connected my Mac laptop. This router works flawlessly. I just followed the installation instructions and plugged it in. I would higly recommend the WRT54GL.
