Specs:
The Good:
Speeds approaching those of 802.11a at an 802.11b router price; easy setup.
The Bad:
Short operating range compared to that of 802.11b; mixing 802.11b and Wireless-G clients results in poor 802.11b performance; one-year warranty.
The Bottom Line:
The low-cost Linksys WRT54G features fairly high throughput. But it has a relatively short operating range, and its poor performance with 802.11b devices makes claimed backward compatibility moot.
