Product Description
The Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router combines the functionalities of three devices into a single device, a wireless access point, a four-port full-duplex 10/100 Mbps switch and a router. The wireless access point lets you connect Wireless-G or Wireless-B devices to the network while the switch connects your wired-Ethernet devices together. The router function ties it all together by letting your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. The push button setup feature makes it easy to configure your wireless devices. The router serves as a DHCP server, includes an SPI firewall to protect against Internet intruders and also supports VPN pass-through. The WRT54GL even features TKIP and AES to protect your data and privacy with up to 128-bit encryption. With the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router at the center of your home or office network, you can share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers and multi-player games with flexibility, speed, security and simplicity.

 Rock Solid Router August 28, 2008
I replaced a crash prone WRT54AG router with the WRT54GL. I was hesitant because I had so many problems with the other Linksys router. However after reading many rave reviews and the ability to flash a Linux based firmware I took a leap of faith. I installed the Tomato firmware and could not be happier. The router has never locked up and the signal strength is incredible. I can listen to streaming radio via my iPhone while mowing the lawn! If you want a rock solid, 3rd party firmware capable router look no further. Now only if they had an N version of this.
 Great price (only $40 after $10 rebate through BML!) for this gem. August 22, 2008
I've been shopping around for a few days for a USED pre-version 5 WRT54G and still can't believe I can get one NEW here for less. The WRT54GL is essentially the WRT54G version 4. This is a great deal. Buy it and flash it with Tomato, DD-WRT or whatever premium firmware you like. I personally like Tomato for my simple setup.
Excellent Linux router August 13, 2008
This router was purchased for our Community center. I immediately installed DD-WRT firmware. The router covers the whole building which formerly was a one story four room rural school with a gym. It has been in operation for about a month with out any problems. It is setup with remote web administration to avoid a trip to the building to check on it.
Good With Stock Firmware - Great With Open Source August 2, 2008

If you are interested at all in security and special features, this is the router to get - and then replace the stock firmware with one of the open source versions. I went with Tomato and have been completely amazed. It's Linux, runs IPTables, supports port knocking, logs incoming/outgoing data rates, logs blocked incoming/outgoing packets, allows you to limit incoming connections by source IP, and so on.
I am using this as the router just in from my DSL modem and have a webcam linked in wirelessly and restricted to just being watched from my work IP address. Running against Steve Gibson's Shields-Up, if I allow his IP and forward the port, it sees the port just fine. If I take GRC's IP out, it's as if there was no web server up at all. Totally hidden.
Even if you aren't sure which router to get, spend the extra $15 or so and get this one because if you ever do want to get the hot setup, this one lets you do it. Worst case, you have a really good router in its own right. But install other firmware (easy) and you can have features that commercial routers for businesses have.
Good so far July 31, 2008
I have been using WRT54GL for the past 1 month. Its good so far. I didnt see any problems.
