Summary: very good WAP
Review: I have recently purchased your WAP54G. I did so becuase I have used other products like your 4 port BEFSR41 router/hub and it has worked great. Installation was a problem. I tried to install on a hardwired computer on the network with WinME OS. It didn't detect the access point. But I called and got a rep in less than 2 min and I had WEP installed and turned out the WAP was actually working with no installation at all. I popped the wireless notebook card (WPC54G) into my notebook with WinXP OS and again in less than 5 minutes, it was working. The hardest part of the install of a wireless network using your devices was actually typing in the WEP encryption key. I am very impressed. Total time to install a workign wireless network, less than 10 minutes. Hard to beat that. You won't get 54 MBPS though. Still very very fast. No problem with online games etc..

Summary: Works as advertised.
Review: Got the WAP54G today along with a Linksys wireless 54G card bus adapter. Had no problems, installed in only a few minutes and it works as advertised. Be sure to download and install the latest drivers from Linksys for the WAP and network card - it makes a difference. Even works well with my Cisco VPN client. I'm using W2K on a IBM StinkPad. Good signal strength throughout my old house - mostly 54Mb - sometimes 36Mb. Didn't need phone support so I have nothing to complain about in that vain. I don't have legacy devices so I don't have anything to report on there as others have.

Summary: Works great
Review: I purchased this WAP since I already had a Linksys 4-port router. This WAP is the perfect complement to the router, and it works well.I followed the quickstart guide and the setup went as described, including configuring WEP from the start. No reset was required after using the configuration tool on the CD. Next, I installed the separately purchased Linksys Wireless-G PCI card in a PC across the house without problems. The PC's orientation is worst-case, directly in line with the WAP and NIC antennas. But signal strength is "good", and it's getting 18Mbps connection rates. Not bad for being totally blocked. In half an hour the wireless network was running, and had WEP protection from the get-go. I've used Linksys products for a few years, and while their support is lacking, the products work very well. Also, I have cordless phones also on the 2.4GHz range. They have not been affected, and others I have talked to said their 2.4GHz phones have coexisted with this particular WAP.

Summary: WOW! Another great Linksys product!
Review: 30 minute to set up & be online... while watching a one-year old! Fast and easy setup and very fast internet speed. Can't tell any difference between my wireless and wired connections. Very pleased and a great addition to my wired network.

Summary: CAVEAT******CAN'T USE WITH AOL DSL
Review: Let the buyer beware. The 802.11g is incompatible with AOL DSL. There is no disclaimer on the box alluding to this fact. Considering AOL is the largest ISP in the WORLD, you would think we would be told this little tidbit. I love my 802.11b by Linksys, i just wanted a faster speed. I think the support at Linksys is awesome. They are always very nice, even when I am screaming!!!

Summary: junk
Review: I guess it was greed that made me want an access point based on technology that isn't ready yet. Despite the fact that I just wanted wirelss for ssh and maybe a little web browsing, I had to have 54Mbps. Well, it isn't ready. When I received the first unit, I couldn't get it working. Its web interface didn't play nicely with Mozilla; using MSIE worked better, but even with the simplest of settings, I couldn't find it through the air. Finally, a call to tech support revealed that the pattern of its status lights was totally unnatural and that the device was defective. I got a replacement, and within seconds of plugging it in, the same pattern of lights came up. I wasted hours on this piece of junk, and ended up with nothing. At least I got a refund. ...

Summary: Good product...
Review: I like it. It was easy to set up and get working right out of the box. Think about your network changes before you buy. Had i have spent more time doing that I would have spent a little more and bought the model that has the router (I already have a router, I could have doubled my connection options.) The only down side is that I would like to see a lower price point for this item considering it's mono functional.

Summary: Don't buy this!!
Review: This product is at the bleeding edge. I have spent HOURS on hold trying to reach Linksys tech support, spent more time talking to their first level support then gotcut off after reaching second level support. They were never able to help me get it working.

Summary: Better Wait On 802.11g
Review: Had it running for a short time with not much luck. 802.11g has the same interference problems as 802.11b, as it will fight cordless phones, etc. I had the WAP in one room and the PC in the other. Connections would take a long time and would fail periodically. The fastest speed it would connect at, only two rooms away was 24Meg. Sometimes it would connect at 36Meg but quickly drop back down, sometimes to 10Meg. Someone around my house is running an unsecured WLAN as the card in my PC would get a week signal and pick up in IP address from somewhere else. Oops. I had to configure the PC end to look for my network only. If you follow Linksys's instructions, it will us the default configuration, which is wide open, and leave your network assessable to anyone around you. I soon tired of messing with it and got an RMA and shipped it back. I'll wait for 802.11a's prices to come down or see what new wireless protocol comes out next week.

Summary: Screamin Fast
Review: I bought the WAP54 G Router with 2 Linksys wireless G Notebook PC Cards and I am very pleased. I am upgrading from Linksys' BEFW11S4 Wireless Router and the WPC11 Wireless PC Card. The increase in speed is definitely worth the cost of the upgrade. I am getting excellent signal quality compared to poor quality with the old system when using laptop in the same location. My DSL connection seems noticeabley faster and I am able to work with shared files on my desktop PC upstairs - old system it was just too slow to do that. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that configuring the router was tricky. The Win XP setup instructions made it look very simple, but getting all the settings correct, especially for WEP, took some time. It could be just that my ISP required that I enter more settings than most. But now that it's set up, it's wonderful. Highly recommend. But keep your old 80211.b system for awhile just in case you have any problems.
