After some research on the Net, I discovered that there is indeed a flaw with the current WRT54G design (WRT54G, version 3, which Amazon currently sells).If you just use the router to surf the web, this router should serve your needs. As I mentioned in my first paragraph, it supports WPA security, which is far superior to WEP.
I just purchased a the Linksys WRT54G wireless AP / Router. I'lladmit the setup was very easy using a web interface. Anyway, backwardcompatable...not yet?!!? It seems from talking with a CSRprofessional at Linksys that their product doesn't even fully workwith their own wireless PCI or PCMCIA cards. I hope you get it rightsoon. Anyway, as of this date 02/11/03, Linksys doesn't have anupdate that will work with my wireless products.
First note that Amazon is selling v5 of the WRT54G. v5 includes a major firmware change that makes it not possible to update the firmware with 3rd party firmware.
I purchased the WRT54G router from Amazon (order fulfilled by third party retailer)in Sept 2010. After having problems getting an internet connection, I phoned the Linksys Tech Support. Based on the router's serial number, their support rep informed me it was made 5 years earlier & not covered by their warranty (3 yrs from manufacture date, not purchase date).
I bought Linksys WRT54G wireless-G router together with the PCI adapter for my desktop in one of the bedrooms. To my surprise, amazon, for the first time, delivered the package before its estimated date. I followed the instructions on the installation CD. After 15 minutes, I was happily sitting in the bedroom, checking my hotmail account.I read the reviews before I did the purchase.
After a month of trying to make this device work, I have finally give up and concluded that it is defective. Since I have gone past the return date for Amazon, I tried to return it to LINKSYS' but was told that the warranty had expired and that they were not even making this particular router anymore. If that is the case, I don't see how Amazon would continue to sell it. I am returning the router to Amazon and hope to get some kind of satisfaction.
It may be selling under the same name, but it's no different than if Mercedes started selling a Kia witha a trident hastily slapped on it. I've purchased a dozen of the real WRT54G's for friends and family but this is the end of the line. Some say a WRT54GL is available in Europe for our friends there that want the good one (same as version 4 here). Versions 1-4 got 5 stars; this one gets 1.
Note: I don't know if any of these "reviewers" have even checked for the updated firmware on Linksys' website. The new firmware version (currently 1.41) fixes a lot of the reported issues mentioned on this website. Linksys does not ship its routers with the updated firmware as it costs too much to recall every single router in all the stores just to flash to the newest version.Anyways this product has a great range.
I also had problems geting the 128 bit WEP encryption running due to the fact that I never worked with it before.What really surprised me was a nice interface to handle DynDNS.org accounts, so you don't have to run a separate program to do it for you. I upgraded to the newest version of the firmware, although I didn't have any problems with the existing one which was seriousely out of date.
Answer: You may bet that this is a 5.x or later version which runs that slimmed down Vxworks firmware. For the real thing (which once built WRT54G's reputation as a reliable product) look for a WRT54GL (L as in Linux). And look for DD-WRT firmware for your WRT54GL ( http://dd-wrt.com ). That combo really rocks.
