Thank god it's done. Read below how

I just bought a Linksys router (v2) with a WPC11 (v3) card last week and I'm happy to share it with you that both work exceptionally well, especially since I live in New York. A lot of bad reviews have been posted about this group of products, and maybe some of them are fair, but most of them are backlash to previous versions of each component working (or not working) together. Linksys seems to come from the belief that it's better to release a product with a few flaws than to release it in…

An excellent router with full customization.

I needed wireless and I needed a wired home LAN and I wanted to share my cable modem internet connection with the above and I needed more flexibility.

Quick and easy: computers and accessories

After reading numerous Revain customer reviews of wireless routers and adapters, I settled on the following: Router - Linksys Wireless 4-Port Cable/DSL Router…

Surf in bed now. very satisfied so far

Let's call this rating 4.5 stars. I bought a BEFW11S4 router along with a Linksys PCMCIA card for my home desktop/laptop. Basically, I wanted my laptop to be able to surf the internet anywhere in the house (in bed, on the couch, in front of the TV, etc.) via a wireless connection while also having wired ports for backup. I use my desktop's wired connection, which is 70 feet away in another part of the house where the DSL line/modem is, but I'm using a wireless connection through my laptop for…

Pros
  • Best in its niche
