Advantages: Simple, quick to use, reliable router

Disadvantages: -

I know a lot of computer stuff from different hardware to software, but when it comes to network stuff,f I'm in the dark. Luckily Linksys has develop routers for us, for people who don't know anything about establishing a wireless or plain normal network. They developed Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54GL. And, for those who want to play around or to give some extra strength to the router, they installed Linux firmware (this is why we have WRT54GL, where L stands for Linux), that means more security and longer life spend, and easy to upgrade/change the official firmware. BUT for all of us, who we'll not try to do this, WRT54GL brings simplicity to establishing a home or office network, let see why is that:
1. when you open the package and you put the router near the computer and your internet cable all you have to do is to follow the simple drawn or on screen (you get a manual CD) instruction. It takes you about 2 minutes to connect (one minute to connect and one for wondering "could it really be soooo easy?")
2. open your Internet Explorer (unfortunately this one work the best, some have try Mozzila and some have try Opera, some have manage to use this two and some have not, but if you use IE it will defiantly worked) and type the IP address that you get in your manual notes.
3. follow the instructions in the manual and type password and username
4. click save.
And you are ready. Sometimes you have to type some other stuff, but because of the excellent Linksys interface it's easy to do so.

You can also use one of the programs, that helps you to install the router automatic, simply by clicking "next" it easy, but I still recommend to do it manually.

Now what more do we get wit our router:
Internet in almost every part of the house. It's so powerful that even your neighbors could connect to your wireless network it, so be careful and protect your network.

And (coped from Linksys site):
All-in-one Internet-sharing Router, 4-port Switch, and 54Mbps Wireless-G (802.11g) Access Point
Shares a single Internet connection and other resources with Ethernet wired and Wireless-G and -B devices
Push button setup feature makes wireless configuration secure and simple
High security: TKIP and AES encryption, wireless MAC address filtering, powerful SPI firewall

Summary: Is what, what every router desires to be  the best.
