Linksys Wireless-G WRE54G (WRE54G-UK) Repeater

Pros: Works as designed, plugs right into the wall and sits upright without bracketing

Cons: Will probably need to spend time configuring your router

The Bottom Line: It doesn't work right out of the box, but after some help from customer service, it worked exactly as designed.

Review: I recently bought a new iMac for myself and gave the old iMac to the kids. I got them a computer desk and moved the iMac into the room, except there was one major problem. There was no wireless signal in their room. Oddly enough, I could take my...

Pros: Wireless AP repeater; doesn't require network cabling to be attached; works with WAP54G, WRTG54G, WRT54GS

Cons: Minimum requirements (for AP units) not defined on packaging. Installation still returns critical errors.

The Bottom Line: Recommended if you can place it near your computer (no barriers between unit and computer).

Review: I live in a two story single family home. Nothing fancy. However, my computers have , well, sprawled. Luckily my Linksys WAP54G covers the primary areas of the home where I use my Sony VAIO laptop, Apple Mac G5 and where my wife uses her Apple...

Pros: Small unit. Easy to move from one area to another.

Cons: Set up was impossible Customer service contact was a waste of time

The Bottom Line: Don't buy this unit.

Review: Tried for over three hours and many attempts and re-attempts but could not get this repeater set up. Before each re-attempt, I reset the unit and started over. Each effort failed and although the unit's lights indicated complete set up, it prevented...

Pros: you can unplug and take in another room, settings are saved.

Cons: hard to setup without good instructions

The Bottom Line: excellent connection to my internet and I can carry the unit and laptop to another room and have the same excellent connection

Review: I had a problem figuring out what Mac address to use in the setup for unit. So I put in till I got the right one and the blue light stayed on when I saved the settings.
Next, when all finished and you have the unit programmed you have to go...

Pros: Works right out of the box for XP or prior OS.

Cons: Difficult to setup a secure network.

Review: I've had my Extender for about 2 years now for a notebook computer running windows XP. I took advantage of a notebook sale and later discovered Vista can only detect the Main router signal and not my extender. The linksys site shows what components...

Pros: Once configured, has worked perfectly Good technical support from Linksys

Cons: Expect network speed to cut in half, you wont get 54mbps Poor instructions

Review: I bought a WRT54GSv4 router, which gave very good coverage to the far end of my house. But thinking I would like to boost the signal, I lashed out for a WRE54G range expander.

Afer a couple of hours of checking firmware versions, turning...

Pros: EASY SET UP, WORKS BETTER THAN EXPECTED!

Cons: NONE

Review: I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH GETTING MY SIGNAL IN THE FAR END OF MY HOUSE, I TRIED EVERY KIND OF ROUTER, FINALLY I BOUGHT THE NEW LINKSYS 300 N ROUTER AND I STILL COULD NOT GET A SIGNAL AT THE FAR END OF MY HOUSE, THEN I BOUGHT THIS BOOSTER OR...

Pros: Seems to give a strong signal

Cons: Turned out to be non-compatible, couldn't get full credit back

Review: Read the fine print. Not compatible with many Linksys models. I bought min at CompUSA and the store guy and I even thought we had checked compatibility. Turns out we were off by a single letter.

Pros: Great Signal, Easy Setup, Quick Configuration, Easy to Use.

Cons: None so far.

Review: I recently moved into a bigger house, and the office is located in the far right corner. This is where my router is and I had no signal on the other side of the house and only 1-2 bars upstairs. I kept disconnecting if I left my office so whats the...

Pros: Best Buy refunded my money w/o questions.

Cons: works w/ only 3 of the LinkSys routers and nothing else.

Review: this RE is barely at alpha.
Cisco ought to use some of its router technology in the LinkSys stuff now that they own them. If not, LinkSys may turn out to be a money pit.

This RE simply is not ready for release.
Too many things...
