WLS-G RTR W/ 2 PHONE PTS

 (4 customer reviews)

I had to post this review when I read the other 2 bad reviews. This device seemed shoddy as well, i.e. I had to reboot it sometimes several times a day to get it to work, until I realized that it wasn't the device's fault at all. It was the lousy recycled cable modem that the Time Warner provided me. I confirmed this with a few tech support calls and Time Warner replaced the modem (they're fault so I didn't have to pay extra for the service call.) After that my Linksys WRTP54G router has been 100% perfect. In fact, it does static IP w/ Port forwarding (unlike the D-Link) which is essential for the fastest peer-to-peer downloads if you like downloading from multiple computers wirelessly. And who cares if the router has firewall or not. Your PC already has one that works fine. I highly recommend this Linksys WRTP54G.

This is the third Linksys router I've owed in less than five year. I'm shopping for another make now. These pieces of garbage fry within a year, they disconnect your connection from the internet for no reason, even after several attempts at resetting. The connecting ports are just too cheap to maintain contact with the motherboard. And my units are left in cool, dark places, with no movement, no static to fry them. Customer service? You must be joking. This company needs to close and stop selling products and ripping people off. One star is TOO generous

We had and used this router for years when we had Vonage. It consistently dropped signals and, when it worked, gave off a very slow, weak signal. I got it from Vonage with my account. As time went on, this router got weaker and worse, to the point where we had to reboot it sometimes twice daily for any kind of signal at all. The admin panel is unnecessarily complicated.

We just tossed them both, this router and Vonage, and went with the Apple Airport Extreme. I'll never look back.
