Linksys Cisco-Linksys WKPC54G Wireless-G Network Kit for Notebooks

Excellent product, installed without problems, operates as expected. Product was delivered as expected in excellent condition.

Nice low cost Wireless G use

not installed hope works

The router and card where very easy to install. Quicker access than an older d-link router and card I had previously.

I bought the Linksys WKPC54G Wireless-G Network Kit for Notebooks on Amazon for a great price ($36.25). I must say I was very apprehensive because of all the negative reviews. I've had a Linksys BEFSR41 4 port wired router for the last 7 years and it has been as solid as a rock. Anyway, I replaced the BEFSR41 with the WRK54G, hooked up all the wired connections (3 total, including a print server) and everything worked. Internet and local network worked fine. Turnkey installation. Next, I installed the CD software for the wireless card on a 4 year old DELL laptop (Windows XP) and everything went okay. The software indicated that it was connected to the router but it said I had no Internet connection. To make a long story short, I powered the router off/on and everything (including my Internet connection) worked fine. One thing I did notice was that anytime I made a change to my wireless settings on the router or laptop (especially wireless security), I had to cycle power on the router. Hardwire connections never had a problem. All in all, this combo works great. Range is pretty good and all my kids wireless game devices have no problem connecting. Buy it if the price is right. I've used it 3 days, only time will tell...
