My personal review would be.... good luck if you're planning on using the wired connections for anything vaguely intensive... (P2P and World of Warcraft both tend to cause the WRT54GS and the WRT54G's to lock up) Interestingly this only seems to happen in the new versions since Linksys changed to a different chip for the 100mbit switch.

After trying a ridiculous number of supposed fixes on both versions of this router I returned them and went back to my old Linksys non-wireless router.

The thing I did not like about this router is the fact that it will not allow you to set up a static IP under the DHCP. My tivo kept losing where the server was. I switched over to the D-Link with speed-booster (whatever they call it) and it's much more friendly to use.
And yes, I know I could have downloaded the Sveasoft firmware and resolved the DHCP problem, but I frankly didn't want to fiddle around and possibly ruin the router.

I had exactly the opposite experience to to dragonlord1212's. I started with the D-Link speed booster router, which caused no end of problems with intermitent interruptions on the wired connections. Switched to this linksys router and no problems.

I'd suggest looking up the reviews of each router on amazon or newegg for more through reports.

PS-I think Compusa (or maybe Best Buy) has this router on sale this week for the same price (maybe after rebate).

PC Mag 6/7/05 issued picked this router as Editor choice.

BestBuy and CircuitCity got the same router for the same price after mail in rebate.
