Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX - WRT54GX

Reviewed by: Darilov

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: It looks nice as a door stop or paper weight

Weaknesses: All. It didnt work.

Overall Evaluation: This was my first wireless router and it's been a nightmare. Physicall installation of this equipment was a snap. Get it to work was torture (Cruel and unusual punishment). After not being able to install this thing myself ( And I'm pretty computer savvy), I spent over two hours on the phone with Verizon and Linksys technical support doing all kinds of things to get this thing to work. Pinging addresses, disabling firewalls, resetting router and switching computers, modems in bridge mode, etc etc. They determined the router was defective and I went ahead and ordered a replacement. Again, the same story with the replacement except this time they pair me up with the Lord of the Wireless Networks in Technical Support and still couldn't get it to work. This router may have worked flawlessly for the majority of people but for me it was a disaster considering I replaced it for another one. There may be some major issues with this particular router so buyer please beware. If you use Verizon DSL equipment and you buy this particular linksys router you may be setting yourself up for some major hairpulling and swearing. Just get a box Tylenol or Advil before you call tech support.
