Great for custom firmware!

Date of Review:  Jul 2, 2009
Review: The Linksys WRT54GL is the Linux version of the popular WRT54G router - the newer versions come with VxWorks, and have less memory, and so aren't compatible with custom firmware.

Using custom firmware may void your warrenty, but it comes...

Veryy Good

Date of Review:  Jul 1, 2009
Review: This wireless router, besides supporting Linux firmware, is a tested and true wireless router with 802.11 b and g support. It supports WPA, WPA2 and the older WEP encryption schemes. In addition, it has a built-in firewall, MAC address filtering,...

So good you forget it is there - it just works!

Date of Review:  Nov 22, 2009
It's Good For: Home, Small Networks, Web Browsing
Review: My previous wireless router needed rebooting most days, and seemed extremely capricious in general. I don't remember the last time I had to touch this router - it is very stable and reliable.

Setup was very easy, almost plug and play. You...

Linksys Failed Me (Again)

Date of Review:  Feb 15, 2007
The Bottom Line: Everything *would* be great but it konks out all the time, killing my connectivity. I get sick of having to walk over and reset it all the time. Bad reliability!
Review: Up again, down again, up again

This router has been flaky, flaky, flaky since the day I bought it. I use it with a pair of Linksys wireless-G cards, inside a 2 bedroom apartment, and while signal strength is usually "good" or better, I am...

Have to reset it every 2 hours

Date of Review:  Mar 10, 2007
Review: This router drops connection every two hours or so, and I have to manually reset it by unplugging the power cord. I thought that it was my fault and I set something up incorrectly, but today I saw several reviews on Amazon with the same problem for...

Cisco all the way - Easy to use, Easy to Install

Date of Review:  Nov 29, 2008
The Bottom Line: Buy it for simple networking.
Review: The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54G was purchased around six months ago by myself. Being a techie and not really caring about connection speed for my wireless enabled laptop, I purchased this product based upon brand name awareness. Cisco...

Works Perfectly!

Date of Review:  Dec 31, 2007
The Bottom Line: The Linksys WRT54GL is a reliable, easy to install and use router.

Old handle, new blade, hacks great!

Date of Review:  Oct 4, 2006
The Bottom Line: The WRT54GL is one of those rare gems that power users would choose, casting aside far newer products that fall short in terms of stability and versatility.
Review: Covered in this review: product history, installation, features, security, comparison and review of third-party firmware, etc.

[History of the axe]

The WRT54GL is the re-release of LinkSys' older WRT54G router. The WRT54G was...

I don't honestly know what to think about this thing

Date of Review:  Sep 1, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you can find a better router, buy it. I wish I had, and when I can afford to, I will.
Review: When I bought my new Acer laptop computer a few months ago, I decided I had better get a wireless router, otherwise the advantages of the laptop would be pretty well useless. Why buy something you can carry around the house if you have to be...

Excellent Wireless Router

Date of Review:  Feb 23, 2008
Review: This Linux based router is one of the best routers on the market. It has a very strong signal (we can pick it up all over our large house) and can be upgraded using either the DD-WRT or OpenWRT firmware.

I'm not too enamoured of the...
