Customer Reviews

Rating: - Reliable and flexible router, plus open firmware!
I have two linksys routers, one of these WRT54GL, and an older G, both running WW-DRT firmware to increase range and abilities.I have them linked using WDS and the power increased to 100mW for better range.Once setup, I haven't even had to power cycle or reset either of them, they just work.After installing WW-DRT on these routers, they pretty much have the features of a router that costs x5 more, you can't find a better deal than that.
Rating: - Well-deserved reputation
I bought this device on the back of its reputation for reliability and flexibility and value for money. I'm completely satisfied.

Dropped dd-wrt on this guy and it's been up w/o issue ever since (about 2 month uptime).I have torrents running often as well as streaming content and web browsing w/o any lockup.If you do your research, I think you'll find this is the best consumer level router available.Thanks to Linksys for bringing the linux version back!
Rating: - Works great!
I've bought and installed 4 of these so far and I use one personally at home. I'm going to end up buying 2-3 more.

I'm using them with the after market firmware Tomato.

They work extremely well.

A+ to Linksys for an amazing product.
