  Strengths: Great signal strength, have 80% signal 4 rooms and 1 story away.

  Weaknesses: 802.11B doesn't support many "high security" levels, so devices (PDA's especially) which don't yet use 802.11G will require you to bust security down to 128 bit WEP.

  Overall Evaluation: I really like this router, I bought it the day it became available at BestBuy (April 2004); in fact I bought this about 2 weeks before I bought my wireless card for it ;)... The built in router is definitely nice, I myself reserve the ports on the router for daisy chaining to other devices (switches and my Vonage router). I would recommend this to anyone who wants a high security wireless system, and even those running Personal Telco. It's powerful where it needs to be, and easy to use where it's needed. My only beef is that you only get to forward 10 different port ranges.

  Strengths: The product works

  Weaknesses: The customer service is completely incompetent

  Overall Evaluation: I can not believe the incompetence of Linksys's customer service. After setting up a wired/wireless network I called for help making it secure. 4 hours and 4 phone calls later my internet service didn't work, my network didn't work, my internet service didn't work, my router didn't work, and Linksys said it was a faulty system (it had worked before I called for help). I had to call Earthlink to fix the internet connection and then bought a Motorola. They had it fixed and secure in 15 minutes. I told a friend this story and she said she had a friend with a similar Linksys customer service nightmare. Beware!

  Strengths: - Strong clear signal- No interference with 2.4GHz phone- No problems with connectivity- Connected VoIP phone without a hitch

  Weaknesses: - Would not play with Asante wireless card- Had to use Linksys brand card

  Overall Evaluation: I have had no problems with the router and the connectivity thus far. Only time will tell if things will get ugly. I am not sure if the Speedbooster is actually boosting anything.

  Strengths: Runs Linux, easy to upgrade, strong signal coverage, fast

  Weaknesses: The default web UI could use a little more work, but custom firmware solves this for the most part

  Overall Evaluation: This wireless router is a dream. The main reason I bought it is because it runs linux and is highly configurable, especially if one installs one of the custom firmwares available on various websites. Just like the WRT54G, this router has a huge community and following, which I value a lot. Despite not having a "speedboost" wireless card, wireless connections are still very fast. I'm also pleased with the security settings available on this router, which is very important on a wireless router.

  Strengths: Easy to setup, strong signal.

  Weaknesses: none

  Overall Evaluation: I had a d-link DI-614+ wireless router before this one. The DI-614+ sometimes stop working when I use eDonkey for a long time. Had no problem with this linksys router at all. Signal is strong and I can go online with my laptop in my backyard. Setup up is very easy if you did that before. Highly recommended.

  Strengths: Very fast speeds, and strong signal throughout my 2000 sq/ft house. Works great with my Netgear b/g pc card. Nothing beats working from your backyard. =)

  Weaknesses: Strong security not enabled by default. No complete list of updates for their firmware, only incremental.

  Overall Evaluation: This wireless router is great. I was able to install it and have it connected to my laptop wirelessly in about 30 minutes. It would've been 2 minutes, but I'm security conscious and made sure to immediately 1) change the default password 2) enable 128bit WEP encryption 3) update to the latest firmware 4) set port forwarding for ports 80 and 443 to redirect to a non-existant ip address. The last step was to guard against a weakness in the admin security with remote administration. It may have been fixed in a firmware update, but I found no mention of it, and better safe than sorry. Wireless is great, but know what you're doing!

  Strengths: Great speed- I can't even tell I'm not hard-wired into my wall outlet!

  Weaknesses: Setup instructions leave a lot to be desired.

  Overall Evaluation: This product works like a charm! The speed is incredible and there is no interference with other devices in my apartment (i.e., cordless phones). Very impressed with performance. Setup disks did not work at all- they could not detect my active internet detection. Manual, step by step installation from the instruction card was necessary. Also, be advised- the router has to be installed before the card, or else your computer will not pick up the signal!
