Cons: Purchased this unit with the hope that wireless would work at least close to wired.. No. Flashed with dd-wrt.. Still great signal, 99% but would get connection drops. from Newegg.com Pros: The price---and that is it~!! Cons: This thing refuses to open any ports, and every BiTTorrent client I use gives NAT Errors (no port open) and the tech support (in the Phillipines, no doubt) is nosy and basically incompetent when it comes to PC's in general, they want too know "why do I need ports open", "what are torrents and why do you need them", etc; ---You would think that 21st Century techno-users would know about downloading~!Does someone who wants to have wireless internet access for their Laptops and other wireless products in their homes..have to have a degree in computer programming to have some ports opened in this thing?!I have given up on using wireless internet and am back to software firewalls (zAlarm) because I cannot open these **** ports!!This is my 2nd Linksys G-series router and I will NEVER buy another Linksys product again!! from Newegg.com Pros: It's a Linksys and they were always my first choice. Cons: Kept dropping wireless internet connection. from Newegg.com VPN works great so far. Cons: None that I can see so far. Other Thoughts: Don't let any of the earlier reviews scare you from buying this Router, it is very user friendly and Linksys Support is very good. I only had to call twice due to not have setting up a router in such a long time, but the automated setup info was very helpful for this router. from Newegg.com Pros: Works just like it should. Cons: None Other Thoughts: DD-WRT install went smooth and really made this a great router. from Newegg.com Pros: All the wealth of experience behind the original WRT54G is carried on in this version. It has all the normal features you'd expect to find, and Linksys typically offers good firmware support. from Newegg.com Pros: After consulting with another tech savvy friend, and doing some reading, I decided to put DD-WRTv24sp2 (svn12220). This was quite simple to do; I highly recommend it! from Newegg.com Pros: Loaded up the latest build of Tomato on this and after giving my Comcast cable modem 15 mins to talk to it we were up and running. Cons: Same old purple and black LinkSys. from Newegg.com Pros: This router works great, had some issues with installation and setting up protection level but LINKSYS customer service was extremely helpful Cons: none so far from Newegg.com Pros: Very good , you can flash with DD-WRT third party software . Good wireless signal . from Newegg.com
