Summary: Works Even with WIN 98 First Edition
Review: I purchased an all-Linksys G set - a router, PCI card, and card for my laptop. Here is my hardware setup:
Machine 1: WIN 98 First Edition; 400 MHz PII, plenty of RAM; Desktop
Machine 2: WIN 98 First Edition; 233 MHz, moderate RAM; Desktop
Machine 3: WIN 2000; plenty of speed and RAM; Laptop Router:
It is a great product. I hooked it up to Machine 1 and had it running in under 5 minutes and that includes the hardware. I did NOT use the software included - instead I configured the router through the web interface. This is key. The router doesn't even support WIN 98 First Edition according to the min. req. Linksys states. Nevertheless, my setup works flawlessly. In fact, somehow it seems to have increased my Internet speed - something I can't understand, but am more than willing to go with. For those having problems, I suggest skipping the software CD. By the way I also have Comcast broadband cable Internet and had no problems with setup - I don't know why someone commenting on this product did have problems, but certainly it isn't common. PCI Adapter:
I am giving this an average 3 star rating because frankly I didn't get it to work but then again it really wasn't supposed to work with WIN 98 First Edition as is running on Machine 2. Now, here's why I feel I should comment on this item at all - even if unsupported, loading software and giving it a try should not crash your system and cause errors. In fact, I had high hopes considering the software seemed to load, but in fact it just gummed up the system. So, after quite a while of trying, my poor old system is worse off than before. I just don't understand why Linksys didn't include a way to work on WIN 98 First Edition. At heart this thing is just a bit of hardware and I would think ultimately not much different to the computer than an Ethernet card. I may be wrong, but why can't they design an interface for the older operating system? Anyway, don't bother if you aren't running a newer system. Card for laptop:
Worked like a charm. I popped in the software on Machine 3 running WIN 2000 and in a couple of minutes had a great signal. The laptop was at least 50 feet away from the router and in the basement (router on 1st level). So, through walls and over distance I still had very sufficient signal strength and quality. No dropping was noticed, and the settings were all set for a high level of security. So, overall I'm happy with Linksys.

Summary: Fabulous Router - easy to set up too
Review: It doesnt get easier than this to set up and even easier to use. Just one thing - the WEP is switched off on default. Would strongly suggest that you switch it on and encrypt your network. I have had this for about 8 months and only had a flapping problem once - solved it right away by switching channels!.

Summary: Works great, easy setup -- if...
Review: ...you have the right hardware. Not that anyone anywhere online (I looked hard) or at Linksys tells you this, but this little bugger doesn't work with all ethernet cards. I had an older 3Com (3C905-TX) PCI ethernet card -- that worked fine hooked directly to my cable modem -- and pulled my hair out for days trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Borrowed a newer card (3C905B-TX) and it worked like a charm. Since then, I've been very pleased with the product, both wireless and wired access. I have version 1.1 of the router, I'm not sure what's different in version 2.

Summary: Outstanding router
Review: Great product. I had the wired broadband router from Linksys for years and loved it, but recently switched to a wireless network. It took a whole 4 minutes to setup. Just plug it in and type in your username and password (for DSL sharing that is) and you are running. Highly recommended. Their wireless laptop adapter worked great also, but the PCI wireless adapter is NOT recommended at all (see negative reviews). After getting the laptop card running in around 2-3 minutes, it took hours to get the PCI card installed in the desktop and hours on the phone with tech support to have them not solve the problems.

Summary: good little router...
Review: I don't know what all the fuss is about. I installed this router within 15 minutes, including browsing the internet. Add another 10 minutes and I had a wireless client on the internet using the Linksys nic: WMP54G Wireless-G PCI card. I have no loss of signal strength, connects everytime so far and had no issues, I couldn't resolve. The MAC filter and 128-bit Encrypt, keep it safe. I would recommend this little monster....

Summary: Works Great on Mac!
Review: Although Linksys doesn't seem to have any official Apple support for this product, I find it works just fine with Apple's AirPort Extreme. I got a new PowerBook 12" and installed the Extreme card, but only had the old (Graphite) 802.11b base. The price on this unit was just so much less than the Apple equivalent that I had to give it a try. If you don't mind using a web browser to configure the unit, you'll do just fine.

Summary: Finally, a wireless system that works well
Review: After purchasing both netgear and microsoft wireless g networking products and experiencing only pain and frustration, I opted for the linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router and the laptop card and am finally happy. Easy to set up, no dropped networks, and sound security make linksys the only networking gear I will ever buy. These products cost a bit more but if your time is valuable and you wish to avoid a coronary during the setup process, opt for linksys. I would recommend the web based setup and not the disc that comes in the box. My main computer runs on windows xp and the laptop is windows 2000. Despite multiple 2.4 ghz phones in the house the network does not interfere at all. What a pleasure!!

Summary: Awesome!
Review: I just installed my WRT54G Router. It was a bit tricky installing. I couldn't use the CD as they suggested. (it kept telling me i wasn't connected to the internet, when i was. FRUSTRATING) So I finally used the alternate method "quick installation" step by step. After a few kinks I finally got the desktop to work but the wireless laptop was a bit different. I didn't know there were several different protocols for wireless laptops. Finally figured out my Toshiba P25-S609 was the "B" type so I had to go back into the linksys setup site online and change the protocol to "B." It's now working flawlessly!!! My laptop is fairly new and I didn't know that it has a built in wireless networking device which makes it even better cause I don't have to use a pcmcia card. I am one happy wireless camper!! The connection speed is as fast as being hard wired. I highly recommed the WRT54G, but time will tell if it holds up as I read that some people end up having slow connection speeds after a few months.
