Review on πŸš€ Cisco-Linksys WRT54GS Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster: Unleash Ultimate Internet Speeds by Kyle Larjin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Well! Networking Products

This router is basically a WRT54G with the addition of Linksys Speedbooster technology. It can serve all 802.11g networks as well as older 802.11b networks. Or it can serve a network composed of a mixture of these two standards. In short, this is a very versatile router. The Speedbooster technology offers an additional increase in network speed over the typical 802.11g standard of 54 Mbit/s. This is very useful when you want to transfer large files between computers. The extra speed should help things move a bit faster. But keep in mind that this probably won't give you an extra boost online. Maybe because the wireless connection between the router and your computer isn't the bottleneck. The full scope of the Speedbooster function can only be used if you have installed Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Setting up this router was easy. My desktop PCI wireless adapter is also made by Linksys. My old computer's network card is a standard IBM card. I would highly recommend this wireless router to anyone who frequently transfers large files from one computer to another. The router has been up and running for over a week now and hasn't interrupted my internet connection yet. FYI, my current network consists of two desktops (Dell 8200 and IBM 300PL). Dell connects wirelessly via a Linksys wireless adapter with Speedbooster capability. IBM has an original IBM network card. DSL modem Speedstream. Dell runs Windows XP Pro while IBM has Windows 2000 Server.
