Hide

Very good

7.0

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 7.0 out of 10
Reviewed by Xiao Ming Wu
Review date: 6/9/04
Release date: 3/1/04

The good: Fast mixed-mode speeds; removable antennas; easy to set up; VPN pass-through.

The bad: No mounting bracket; slower enhanced speeds than those of routers from D-Link and Netgear.

The bottom line: The Linksys WRT54GS is especially well suited for networks with both 802.11g and 802.11b connections.
