 Simply the best! September 6, 2010
O. Ladan (Coon Rapids, MN)
You can never go wrong with this router. I've owned different versions over the years, they all preformed well. I have bought my share of other router, nothing can keep up with WRT54GL. My N-draft routers don't come close to this.
 Good buy, very reliable! September 6, 2010

This is my second WRT54GL. I used my first one for around 3 years and gave it to a friend when they moved out (still working on perfect conditions) I tried the newer model afterwards but the wireless reception was really bad... I love this one, I did not give it 5 stars because if you one to install other wireless items, like a printer,is not as easy as other models that I have seen, but overall, this will do the job just fine without spending that much money on it!
Great router for installing custom firmware September 6, 2010
Andrius Povilavicius (Lithuania)
I've been using this cool little router for nearly 3 years now, with no problems. I am sharing my internet connection with 2 other people. WRT54GL supports custom Linux-based firmware, which is the best thing about this gadget.
My favorite firmware is Tomato due to its ease-of-use and the best QoS of all I've tried. I also tested DD-WRT but its QoS is lacking and the interface is ugly and frustrating to use (it restarts your router to save every little change you make to the options, imagine that!).
With this router + Tomato QoS I am sharing my 4 mbps connection and we can game or use Skype or browse the net with no lag at all, even if other people are downloading big files or torrenting. It's really a lifesaver :)
While I'm perfectly happy with it, do note that owners of fast internet connections will want to get something else! Even with slight overclocking and Tomato firmware, the most this router will support is a bit over 20 mbps.
 Do not buy this router. September 4, 2010

This is a terrible piece of junk. I purchased the router 2 months ago and it's given me too much grief. Each time I've attempted to waste hours of my day trying to explain to the online tech support folks that a) I'm not an idiot and I know how to install this router. b) asking me question after question that leads to the same result. c) them asking me to try to set it up again and me explaining that if I do that, we will lose OUR connection because the only way I'm connected to the internet is through a hard-wire at the moment.
Please do not waste your time with this modem. It is junk. Buy a more reliable brand. Linksys support is weak and unhelpful. The modem is cheaply made.
All I wanted to do was to get a replacement. They make it VERY difficult. In the end, I just threw it away and bought one made by NETGEAR. It works fine
 Questionable quality control September 2, 2010
BG (Chicago)
The router was easy to configure using the setup wizard, at least for basic configuration. If you want to go beyond that, you're pretty much on your own because there is no documentation provided with the device. The wireless range is plenty for the house I live in, and had no problem connecting to it with my HP laptop. However, two of the four switch ports don't work.
