The Linksys WRT54GL Wireless Router has tools and power to network every device in your home with ease. In fact, it’s actually three devices in one. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect both screaming fast Wireless-G (802.11g at 54Mbps) and Wireless-B (802.11b at 11Mbps) devices to the network. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Connect four PCs directly, or attach more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection making the WRT54GL a simple solution for complete home and office networking.

Cisco all the way - Easy to use, Easy to Install

Pros: simple to use, simple install, has encryption, cheap
Cons: not FASTest out there but it does work efficiently
The Bottom Line:
Buy it for simple networking.
The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54G was purchased around six months ago by myself. Being a techie and not really caring about connection speed for my wireless enabled laptop, I purchased this product based upon brand name awareness. Cisco owns Linksys and Cisco is well known for their networking solutions. I had first thought that this would just be a simple brand name item that was worth only half of what I had bought it for, but I was truly wrong. This router included an easy set up with on screen diagrams showing the user how to correctly set up their new wireless network. The overall installation with the on screen guide could be ranked about a 2/10 based solely upon the necessity to know what ports to connect in. The remaining installation after the physical wiring was autocompleted by the cd rom installer. The encryption for the wireless network was offered but I know it is futile to have WEP-64, WEP-128, or WPA encryption on a wireess network because if somebody had wanted to break in they truly could within minutes (Don't worry, most people don't know how to crack WEP or WPA). The network has not given me any problems in the 6 months I have owned it. I highly suggest you buy this if you are looking for a simple wireless network set up or an efficient one.
