Linksys WRT54GC Wireless-G Router

Unread post by {DOU}cHiCkEn »

Just picked this up to use in my flat. Works great and setup is a breeze.

The reviews on the U.S. sites are just average but they seem to only sell Version 1.0 in the States and the external antenna is optional. Here I bought Version 2.0 and the external antenna was included.

It's really small, almost half the size of my cable modem taking width into account as well.

Also supports WPA and WPA2 security (much better than WEP.)

Highly recommended if you can get V 2.0 w/ external antenna.

Wireless 802.11 standards are labelled as letters and G has to be the 3rd generation while there is a fourth called "N"

But what about your application for which your gonna need it for???

Laptop? PDA? XBOX360? PC in another room? Networking your Neighbour? Creating a HOT SPOT? Make sure you have it secured!

If I were to use a networking HUB for my gaming I would use a direct cable connection(Ping is important) especially when you die in a game and you didn't see that guy sneak behind the mailbox...
