We rushed the WRT54GS Wireless-G Router with SpeedBooster onto our test bench and have the first-available in-depth review. How does Afterburner stack up against Super-G?

    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. Read more

    I was using a very very Old Linksys Wireless-B which was constantly disconnecting me from the internet so I picked this router up today at the Miami (Flagler Store) for $55 + tax .. installed in less then 10 minutes.. works good so far .. no problems encountered. Good price as well. Im using it with Bellsouth DSL (Extreme) and 3 computers wired in and the 4th port for my security cameras around my house so I can view my house from the internet when im not at home. Read more

    Search "WRT54GS dropping connection" and see how many hits you get. I have had this problem for several months. Very frequent emails to tech support with even a purchase of a switch. No luck. Linksys finally replaced my router and I am waiting for it to arrive to see if I have the same problem. I borrowed a friends netgear router and did not have any problems with IT dropping. BE CAUTIOUS BEFORE YOU BUY !!!!! Read more
