Linksys WRT55AG Wireless Router

Connect four PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. ??The Dual-Band Wireless A+G Broadband Router also contains two Wireless Access Points, supporting all three wireless networking specifications. The first Access Point uses the 2.4 GHz radio band, supporting both the popular and inexpensive Wireless-B (802.11b) standard at 11 Mbps, and the new, almost five times faster, Wireless-G (draft 802.11g) at 54 Mbps.

Cisco's home network hardware line is as good as anything out of DLink, SMC or Netgear. I picked up this unit to replace a 4 year old SMC Barracade 7004 wired router that was on it's last legs, and since the Linksys is supported by my employer's helpdesk, the decision was a no brainer.

Cons The system does not actually work.
Recommended it? No

To set up a wireless network for two computers in different rooms of my apartment, I bought this WRT55AG wireless router and a WPC55AG wireless adapter. It was a mistake.
