great functionality at a great price...
I switched to this router after having the worst experience with a Linksys WAG54G Router/Modem combo device.Not only does the Netgear router have a modern design that looks good anywhere in the home, it was easy to configure and set up.More importantly, I did not experience the frequent disconnection of the wireless signal between my laptop and the router (which was a common occurence with my previous Linksys router).
No good for video streaming.
I brought this router 6 months back. I felt that it was good enough as i mainly used to browse the web. Once I started playing the video clips (mainly WMV9) off the net then I felt the pain. You just cannot play high quality video clips (not too high bitrate just the 386kbps clips) with this router. If I connect directly to the cable i can play those clips file.
Netgear is Nyet
Second Netgear router I have had the misfortune to own.

Great product not perfect on IBMs
When I change users on my IBM laptop is hard to get the settings to stay. I have to redo all settings for each user. otherwise is a great product

problems with WEP encryption
The card works great when WEP is disabled. As soon as I enable WEP, I can't connect. My other Linksys cards (one USB and one PCI) work just fine with WEP. I am using CG200 router/cable modem.

Works great so far!
I use this in an Apple PowerBook G4 (17" model) along with a Netgear 802.11g wireless router and SBC/Yahoo DSL. Thus far I have had no problems. I have also used it in other places with other wireless access points. Again, no problems.

If good things come in small packages, the WUSB11 from Linksys makes a great addition to a wireless network. Measuring about the size of a deck of cards and weighing just shy of 3 ounces, this little device fits nearly anywhere and is easily stowed in a notebook computer case. Simple USB connectivity makes it compatible with any modern PC, and also makes it easy to swap from one computer to another.Read more

I like what I bought
A while back, I bought a TiVo and needed a USB network device to access my network.So I went to TiVo's website and found that this adapter works with TiVo, so I bought it and followed the directions I'd found on how to make it work.It worked like a charm.Since it's been up and running, I've had just about zero problems with it.
No more clutter
Great, now I don't need a 25 foot COX cable to hook up my internet. Best of all eveything is now in a network, desktop, printer,laptop. Easy set up as long as you read directions. Mine was a little tricky because my laptop is old and is a Windows 98SE system, so had to make a setup disk, but not a problem. I bought Linksey WUSB11(desktop), WRT54G(Modem), WPC11(laptop).

Linksys WUSB11 adapter just what I ordered
I needed a specific version of router and firmware and they had it and delivered exactly what I asked for. Thanks. ... Read more

Works great on Win2000
The software included with the Trendnet adapter installed easily and appears to be very capable.It took only seconds to pair my Win2000 PC with my Motorola e815.I can use the software that came with the adapter to pull pictures off the phone.It's easier than using Motorola's own software.The software also allows for dial up networking with this phone.
Works fine... sorta...
I bought the TRENDnet adaptor instead of the D-Link adaptor which Apple supports, based on price and the reviews below. I'm using it on my PowerMac Dual 2ghz G5 to connect a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse. Unfortunately, when the computer is put to sleep the mouse goes dead. The only way to reconnect the mouse is to disconnect the adpator and reconnect it. This is a bit of a pain and requires me to only use the adaptor in the USB port at the front of the Mac.
Works out of the box with XP SP2
Adapter uses Windows drivers with Windows XP.Connects with no problem to cell phone (Cingular 2125) and GPS reciever (Holux GPSlim 236).

Works fine on my Mac
I wish I would have ordered my Mac with the Bluetooth installed. This is the next best thing. Works great with my Wireless Mighty Mouse.

easy to install
This took about 10 minutes to install, and only involved:
Great initial setup and performance
SUMMARY:
Works Great for Me
Of course, I'm not a guru or anything.I got this so I could move my desktop away from where the cable came into the house, into another room entirely, without moving the cable.I already had a little wireless network so I could work with my laptop anywhere in the house, so all it looked like I needed was this gadget.And it WAS all I needed.Couldn't have been easier to set up. ...

The Linksys Wireless-G PCI card installs in most desktops and lets you use your computer almost anywhere in the building, without the cost and hassle of running network cables. Now you don't have to drill holes in the walls and climb through the attic or cellar to get connected to the network. Once you're connected, you can keep in touch with your e-mail, access the Internet, use instant messaging to chat with friends, and share files and other resources such as printers and network storage with other computers on the network.Read more

DOA G-Wireless
Used this card to replace a Linksys WUSB54G Wireless-G USB Adapter that had start to act up on me. I was going to install a 5 port USB PCI hub so I figured, "Why not ditch the corded adapter while I'm cracking the case?".
Excellent with XP
This item works excellent with XP, you get an excellent signal with excellent software.The ugly antenna the person before is talking about is a 5 db antenna, while other manufactors only give you a cheap 2 db antenna.That is why the reception on this item is so good.Also who cares about the antenna, when it is behind the computer and you cant see it, but you can see the excellent reception.You are not buying it for looks, but for the performance.The software does not work with 98, even though the ratings says it does.

Easy, quick and powerful
This is one very powerful and easy piece of equipment that you should be able to have up and running in under 10 minutes. I installed it on a relatively new (6 months old) Dell XP desktop. Like they say in the instructions, load the CD BEFORE you try to install the card. Follow the instuctions on the screen and you should be all set. I have an ATT 2WIRE wireless DSL router with an Apple Airport attached for increased range. This card detected both of the wireless routers and asked which one I would like to link up to. Since I was closer to the Airport I chose that one, clicked on it, and I was up and running in seconds. I don't really download a lot of big video files, but what I do download seems to open as quick, if not quicker, than when I was hardwired to the router. Web pages open as quickly also.Sure I installed it on a desktop that isn't going anywhere, but hey - one less wire under my feet.... Now if I could just get my stupid Dell to find and share my printer with my Mac...but that's another story. ... Read more

Distortion
I have recently purchased this item and mine is exactly like the picture h500.
Great Product
I was reading the disappointing reviews for this product but decided that I would give it a try anyway since it is about half the price of what I would pay if I bought it from my carrier.I have had it for a couple of days now and I must say it is great and works perfectly with my RAZR V3m.The only thing I can say bad about it is that people can notice when you are using the headset because they say that you are not as loud as if your were using the phone directly, which is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5.Other then that it is a great product.Oh yea, the pictured H500 is exactly what I received.

Disappointing
I was really excited to get a Bluetooth headset for use with my new LG8300.

nice device indeed but the mini-optical port will cost you extra
If you want to hook your airport express to your stereo via optical cable, you can; but you will need to buy a "mini-optical" cable or buy a little connector-converter for your regular-size optical cable.
This is all I needed
I was having problems hooking up my laptop soundcard to my home stereo. There was an annoying hum if the video and computer equipment were hooked up together even on separate rca inputs. I was thinking of getting a new sound card. For a few bucks more, this was a wiser choice. No more wires hanging from my laptop, no more hum when everything is connected.

Editorial Review

The Linksys EtherFast cable/DSL router connects multiple PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet connection or to an Ethernet backbone. Configurable as a DHCP server, the EtherFast router acts as the only externally recognized Internet device on your local area network (LAN). The router can also be configured to block internal users' access to the Internet. A typical router relies on a hub or a switch to share its Internet connection, but the Linksys EtherFast router channels this connection through the full-duplex speed of its built-in EtherFast 10/100 four-port switch. This combination of router and switch technology eliminates the need to buy an additional hub or switch and serves your network as a completely dedicated, full-duplex backbone. Now your entire network can enjoy broadband Internet connections supported by its switched backbone. This unit requires an external cable or DSL modem with an Ethernet RJ-45 interface. This product comes with a one-year warranty.Read more

Features

• Connects four PCs to the Internet using a single IP address
• Built-in 4-Port 10/100 switch for sharing broadband
• Securely connect from your home office to the corporate network via VPN
• Includes DHCP server or client and supports PPPoE
• Configurable via Web browser

Not worth the hassle
Please search for the thread on the linksys support forum titled "BEFSR41 v4 intermittent drop of connection" which goes on for 4 pages with no reply from linksys support, I'd post a URL but that is against the review guidelines here at amazon.
Be leary of the befsr41
I have had several of these routers over the years.. I currently have the v2 but the problem I am having is not version specific.I get disconnected from IRC and any messenger I am using about ever 5 -10 minutes at best.I have changed the firmware numerous times... I have reset the router I have actually changed the router out to no avail.This equipment is faulty and Linksys refuses to acknowledge the problem.If you type in Befsr41+disconnects you will see this is a problem with the entire product line... and most of us can not resolve this without removing this piece of equipment from the equation.

Easy to set up Router
LinkSys has put out a wired router that can be set up in minutes and without a glitch.The easiest way to configure it is to go directly to their website and they will automatically configure it.I had this up and running in a few minutes; they also provide support without waiting on the phone for an extended time.I have had other routers that had numerous glitches/problems and poor support...not LinkSys: they put out quality and user-friendly products! ...

Freezes Computers
I tried the DWL-G122 USB adapter in two laptop computers - an IBM Thinkpad and a Sony Vio.In each computer, the adapter worked for about 5 minutes whenever I activated it and then caused the computer to freeze for about 20 seconds, then unfreeze for 5 seconds in a repeating cycle for as long as the adapter remained activated.I tried a Belkin wireless USB adapter in the same two computers and it worked flawlessly.I also noticed that during the 5 minutes the D-link unit worked in each computer, it its link speed was substantially lower than that of the Belkin unit.

worked but did not last long
This item actually works OK. WPA-PSK worked OK for me (with DI-624 router). The problem lies in the construction of this adapter. Mine broken after a few month of use. If you use it often on your laptop, the wires within the adapter can snap fairly quickly. I had to have mine soldered back on, but it is now broken again. I recommend that you either get a different one, or make sure using the USB dangle every time...
Drops connection
This USB adapter is wasting of money and time. Originally I wanted to upgrade my 11.b adapter to 11.g adapter, so i bought this one.It turned out a bad bad decision, the speed fluctuated so wildly, and drops connection several time an hour.And the distance betwen the adpter to the router is only 6 feet downstairs. ...

The Linksys Wireless-G access point lets you connect Wireless-G (802.11g ) or Wireless-B (802.11b) devices to your network. Because both standards are built-in, you can protect your investment in existing 802.11b infrastructure, and migrate your network clients to the new screaming-fast Wireless-G standard as your needs grow.Read more

Features

• Supports data rates up to 54 Mbps--up to 5 times faster than 802.11b
• Backwards compatible with existing IEEE 802.11b devices at 11 Mbps
• Supports 64- and 128-bit WEP encryption
• Wireless MAC address filtering
• Router not included, so you cannot connect multiple users to the Internet

Bugs in firmware
The minor problem is that the user manual claims the user ID is "admin". Well, it is not. Frustration and wasted time will occur until you somehow find out that the user ID should be left blank to log in.
Works Great, Poor/Inaccurate Documentation
(Note to Brian: The WAP54G *can* be configured as a bridge. I have two of them in just such a configuration. Took me about 10 minutes to set them up.)

Great!
Plugged the cables in and it worked like a charm.I did speed tests just to be certain that it did not affect my DSL connection speeds, and it did not.It was nice not having to deal with a crossover cable or flipping a manual switch to configure an uplink port.Contrary to another review, my unit does not run warm, but mine is not fully loaded transmitting data continuously, but I doubt even that would make a difference.

Excellent initial quality switch
