If you're looking to set up a very basic home network so that you can access the internet from anywhere in your home then this may just be the router for you! I purchased this around a year ago and have not looked back. The set up itself was really easy, compared to that of most routers anyway! The step by step software is actually really helpful, unlike most step by step software which can be pretty useless. I was guided through absolutely everything and told where to look for certian information on the router which I needed to enter during the setting up of the wireless network. Almost everything I needed to complete the set up came inclusive, ... Read the complete review

This is a great router i have had this for 4 years now and its still doing exactly what it is supposed to.This is for customers who have a cable connection (virgin media not the adsl lines like sky,B.T,Tiscali,orange etc) and want to share the internet across the household. I had this set up within 20 minutes and had it fully secured thanks to the easy to read instructions.It has the ability to block out people through W.E.P and WPA technology meaning that unless they have your passcode they are not going to get onto the system although WPA is more secure you can also filter it to block different MAC addressess(each network device has its own MAC address) which are not .

We brought the linksys wireless broadband router a few years ago because we had soo many laptops in the house and only one computer with internet access. The software and hardware which is provided int he package is really easy to set up, and if you do have any problems the linksys website actually has an online chat function where you can get help straight away by talking to a technical expert about the product and problems you may have. Installing the software was easy there is a disk provided with the router which has a step-by-step interface which is easy for anyone to follow. Once its installed your hardware will be as well as it tells you where to put the leads and Read the complete review

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This a great router. It is the only one I have ever owned and have had it for over two years. it is small so it does not take up a lot of space. it was affordable - $29 and I bought it at Wal-mart. The design is about as cool as you can get for a wireless router, which is not very attractive. I have never lost my signal, and I keep this thing on twenty four hours a day- seven days a week. The only downside is that when I was first hooking it up it was kinda difficult. Apparently my computer's IP did not match the routers. So i called their customer service- and they are ...

The Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G Broadband Router is a great little device which offers the security of a more complex expensive router. The interface is so easy to manage, even if you are a novice you will soon be able to setup firewall rules, configured the wireless connection. With the wireless setup you can add rules to only allow machines with the MAC addresses you specify, this adds another level of security. Obviously as you would expect it acts as a hardware firewall, you can configure protocol access and redirect these using NAT. It is easy to backup your config and restore it back if you need. In all there time I had this router it has been very stable, I ... Read the complete review
