I needed a way to connect a caption call phone (wired high speed internet required) to a wireless network in a rest home. This fit the bill! A regular high priced router today is ALMOST capable of everything this modified router can do. Plus - I did not have to upgrade the firmware to the circuit board as it was already done. Thank You so much for making this so easy for me. Kudos

Wireless router was perfect. The OEM plug was original, but had an open wire splice without wire nuts or shrink tape, not useable. The shipping package was bubble wrap and a FedEx envelope so it was not overly effective at protecting the router and antennas. The router is as stated and in great shape.

Attention! There are **17** versions of the Linksys WRT54G router (browse wikipedia for the term "wrt54g" and see how to find out the model and its features). This old 802.11 b/g wireless WRT54G version 3 router features a Broadcom BCM4712 216 Mhz cpu, 16 Mb RAM memory and 04 Mb flash (firmware) memory, besides 02 detachable (type RP-TNC) antennas and 04 ethernet 10/100 Mbits ports. Its firmware (internal program) can be replaced by others based on linux whether free ones like dd-wrt, tomato, open-wrt or commercial ones like sveasoft's talisman, allowing increase in the transmission signal (which can be accomplished switching the antennas for better ones as well), connection control ("traffic shapping" of p2p protocols, msn, skype), bandwidth control, hotspot service, "signal bridging". It's a good choice for the average customer who wants a stable router capable of a strong signal (meant to cross walls) or for those who need to share a network connection without quarreling about speed drops.Read full review
Surprisingly, basic safety is often ignored by people using the web to research information quickly and efficiently. If you use the Internet for research of any kind, you could be exposing yourself and your company to hidden dangers such as the unauthorized transfer of confidential information. And no one wants to be the person responsible for a companywide computer network shutdown. Whatever your reason for using the web, there is a smart way to conduct research on it: with an alert eye and a vigilant approach. Use these four tips to help protect yourself and your company from prying eyes and malicious programs. 1. Update, update, update! Microsoft continually provides enhancements and security updates to all its products, including Internet Explorer. No program is completely safe from harm but as threats are discovered, Microsoft makes fixes, upgrades, and service packs for its products available. To maintain the highest level of security on your computer, you or your IT department must make sure to apply all service packs. Before you venture onto the web, make sure you are using the latest version of Internet Explorer. At the time of this writing, the latest version is Internet Explorer 8.0.7. To see what version you are using, follow these steps: In Internet Explorer, on the Help menu, click About Internet Explorer. There are three items you should notice in the window that is displayed: Version: Internet Explorer 8.0.7 is the latest version. Cipher Strength: This is the level of encryption that the browser can support. If you are going to be sending any confidential information over the Internet, you must make sure the cipher strength is 128-bit. If it is less than this value, it will be possible for a hacker to crack the encryption code and view confidential information. Update Versions: Keep your version updated to ensure the balance between security and functionality is correct. Use latest version of Internet Explorer Click OK to close the window. If your browser needs updating, go to the Microsoft Update website, where you can download the latest version of Internet Explorer. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Get into the zone By setting up Internet zones to meet your personal needs, your computer can help protect you as you surf the web. A zone is a logical region or grouping of websites, based on where they are physically located and how well you trust the source. These default zones are available in Internet Explorer 8.0.7: Local Intranet — Websites located on your local network. These sites do not have to communicate over the Internet to be accessed. Trusted Sites — A list of websites that you trust not to harm your computer, such as sites you have identified as properly encrypted. Restricted Sites — A list of websites that are known or suspected to be harmful to your computer. Internet — All other sites that don't fall under the other three categories. You can indicate how Internet Explorer should behave when it accesses a website within each of these zones. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options. In the Internet Options dialog box, click the Security tab. Internet zones can help protect you When you select a web content zone, you can change the security levels. For all but the Internet zone, you can add specific sites to a zone based on your personal requirements. AndRead full review
This router is considered the original flagship of Linksys. There are several hardware versions that vary in on-board memory, CPU speed and flash memory. While these variances of memory don't effect most users, it will effect those wanting to flash to Tomato or DD-WRT interfaces. Which brings me to the EXCELLENT rating. This router is probably the most re-configured router in the world for home use. For router "hackers", this is the baby that everyone gets. These reconfig options are NOT for the casual user who can just find the power button. The other nice thing about it is the fact that it is VERY rugged and reliable. It has a hard-shell case and protection around the entire router. I even spilled a drink on mine and it kept going after a wash in denatured alcohol. Also, it is fairly easy to set up, even for a novice. But there are those out there that find configuration of a router to be overwhelming. The antennas are external and I know that you are going to get a MUCH better signal over internal, especially at a distance. The new Linksys/Cisco 54G2 is sleek and pretty and somewhat able to be reconfigured to an alternate interface. But it really can't compare, in my book, to the solid performance of the "older" G2. Unfortunately, there is no WRT300N router that looks like this or acts like this. Cisco has really dumbed-down the routers so even idiots can plug it in. And, from a business standpoint, I can see that attitude. I wish they would make a N-version of this very same router with 64MB of RAM and 16MB. Sadly, the Blue Brick is not being made in any form or shape. Some nutbar advertizing geek decided that form is better than functionality. Gladly, there are several thousands of the Blue Bricks out there for sale as people get sucked into N when most people would not even need it. Just keep in mind that they are all 802.11 G (B compatible). The WRT54G is still a very good buy and a very good router. I use it to stream to my PS3 and wireless to several computers in the house. Not a problem. I highly recommend this router to anyone.Read full review
