Linksys WRT54G2
The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is really three devices in one box. 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. Click here for more info!
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. Click here for more info!

User Reviews:
The design of this router is really excellent. The antennas are built into the router and the dimensions of it are really small and thin! This gives you more flexibility of where the router can be placed.
My only complain with this product is the fact that the DHCP server has problems after a while. If you leave a PC/device on for too much time, it will “lose” it’s IP address and there is no way around the issue other than rebooting / power cycling router and affected devices. It doesn’t happen too often so it’s not a major issue, but I would have appreciated the linksys forums to be more supportive of my post on this issue – as they really have not been.
A router should be a transparent device once set up. It shouldn’t need to be rebooted, it should have good signal and connect to new devices on the network with the minimal input for the ‘average’ non technical user. This device is such a unit.
From the moment I opened the box it was a good experience. The unit looks great, up on the network within seconds – able to conect my laptops with security quickly. Network printer had no issues as did my PS3 and my main server.
It was a faster unit compared with my older netgear (814) one.
Really recommend it.
By far the easiest setup i have ever done on a wireless router. I have used Netgear and older linksys models but this one exceeds my expectations. Looks great from the outside too. Cannot comment on the speed because i just started using it.
