🔒 Linksys WRT54GS2 Wireless LAN/Firewall Access Point & 4-Port Router with SpeedBooster - 54Mbps 802.11g Review

The specs on this model sounded great, at a good price and I realized when I drove by Cisco HQ most days these guys know what you do. .Sadly no, I must have spent 8 hours chatting with mindless Linksys "chat support” reps [I still don't know if it's a human or an intelligent natural language processor, that's another story.] , because over Ethernet or Wi-Fi, no connected device could stay connected for more than a couple of hours.
