Summary: Better Reception 2010-07-29
Comment: I've always had problems with reception at certain parts of my house that were farther from my previous wireless. Now, I have good reception at all locations. Very pleased so far.

Summary: The WRT54GL loaded with Linux Tomato firmware makes this the best device on the market! 2010-07-29
Comment: I bought the WTR54GL a year ago from Amazon.
At that time I loaded the Linux Tomato firmware version 1.21, this allow me to have better security options, see graphics and data for my Internet connection speed and usage and many other capabilities only available on devices priced 10 times and up.
I still use it today, I actually got a second one for my cousin. All the people that I have recommended this device too, and bought it, are happy with it.
Of course, it would be great if Linksys will come up with a similar device, still Linux compatible, for Wireless "N". In the meantime that happens, I will keep using this one.
I updated the firmware yesterday to Linux Tomato 1.28, the update was smooth with no issues. The most inmediate difference is that the web interface on 1.28 has been improved.
I will keep this review updated regarding reliability and features of Tomato 1.28 (if you want to try it, go to [...] ).

Summary: It's been great for 9 months and no more! 2010-07-29
Comment: This is the best router I've ever had, until its sudden death within the warranty. I've had various routers for the past 10 years, none of them works flawlessly especially for the wireless. This Cisco-Linksys didn't need restart very often like others, usually once every a couple of months. The signal was strong and speed was notably faster than my Belkin. But it just suddenly died, although all the lights are on. It wouldn't connect to internet. I know it because when I put the old Belkin back on, it works. I thought I've found the stable router I can rely on for the rest of my life, until just now... What a shame, it's even within the warranty!

Summary: Doesn't Last Long 2010-07-25
