Product DescriptionThe Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is three devices in one. The Wireless Access Point lets you connect both Wireless-G (802.11g at 54Mbps) and Wireless-B (802.11b at 11Mbps) devices to the network. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Connect four PCs directly, or attach more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. The Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.

The Router can serve as a DHCP Server, has a powerful SPI firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks, supports VPN pass-through, and can be configured to filter internal users' access to the Internet.

I bought this for my dorm room and it works very well. It has a good range for its type, though it seems to be slightly shorter than my friend's Netgear one (although this could just be because of room arrangements). Had one issue where it gave only local access, but the old unplug-replug trick worked and I haven't had any other problems. The size and shape are very convenient since it can sit in a small out-of-the-way place. It's also very easy to set up.

I'm using it for over a month now. Zero connection problems, very stable transfer, never had a such a good router like this. 10 out of 10.
One thing is that it doesn't have N but I can get signal anywhere in my house anyway.
