5 out of 5 stars Great router.......2007-06-27

This is a great router for home wireless internet. It has both A and G wireless. It took some time for me to set up and i have to reset it once every blue moon but that takes 30 sec. and is no problem. it has good range and single strength although i can only get 4/5 when i am right next to it, but the transfer rate is excellent and i get 4/5 for about 120 ft. so i am very content. i would highly recommend this item to you.

4 out of 5 stars Majority of people below are technologically illiterate..........2007-06-27

The product works great and despite what others say it was super easy to setup; even for a first timer like me. The only draw back I had was that the 802.11a signal wasn't quite as strong as the 802.11b but given the wireless signal has to travel through 3 walls to the other end of my house it's still manages a strong connection. Great product.

1 out of 5 stars Linksys WRT55AG - - Can I rate less than 1 star ?.......2007-06-27

Product worked well for about a week and then suffered a major component failure and won't work even as a router!

My regret, was relying on the name brand of product instead of buying based on other people's product reviews. After failure, I read reviews and found out this product was HIGHLY UNRELIABLE with unacceptable MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures). In other words it is JUNK!!

I have bought a NET GEAR Wireless router and have been totally satisfied.

1 out of 5 stars The worst router ever.......2007-06-22

Just don't buy this router.

VPN for company network access doesn't work, blocks incoming data.
Router resets itself spontaneously, sometimes never settling down until you take the power off it for half an hour.
I thought it might be a dud but even after getting Amazon to send me a new one I have the same problems.

Useless piece of kit. I wish I had never wasted the money.

2 out of 5 stars Access Point.......2007-06-20

The router and switch functions work ok but get bogged down and the unit needs to be reset. The bad part is that it is not an access point as advertised.
