Dual-Band Wireless A+G Access Point + Router
I installed this product in my home-office network and didn't experience any problems. There are 3 computers in the network; 2 are wired to the router, and 1 is wireless. One machine is running Windows XP Pro, while the other two are running Windows 2000. The wireless computer uses the companion Linksys WMP55AG product. Before installing these products, I printed out the user manuals that came on the installation CDs, and followed the step-by-step instructions there, rather than using the instal...

Warning - WRT55AG
This product is rushed to the market but not yet ready for prime time.Issues:
1) If you are using VPN to access your companies network - forget it, this product won't allow you to connect (will not pass IPSec-L2TP or PPTP traffic through)
2) WEP encryption doesn't work - yes, you can enable it but after 3 min you will loose connectivity with you wireless network. With WEP disabled connectivity will stay up.
3) MAC filtering doesn't work also - the router will reset back to default (D...

The first and LAST Linksys product I buy
I purchased this product when it first came out in late June 2003. I picked this router because of it's supposed SNMP support and it's dual band capability.After receiving this unit I experienced all the problems with WEP as others have reported as well as the documented problem of the DHCP server in this unit failing to work after about 5 minutes. As with others here the WEP and DHCP problems were cured by the 1.04 firmware update. The SNMP capability, again a key reason for selecting this...

BEWARE!
I was so excited to get this that I paid extra to have it overnighted to me. What nobody told me is that this device doesn't send a signal more than thirty-five feet!!!!!! That's ridiculous. I called the company and they admitted that's the best the device will do -- 35 feet. I hate it. I had to buy a booster and boosters for every computer in the house, and even then the signal was really weak. I'm VERY disappointed. Buyer beware.

Wep encryption
I had a Linksys BEFW11S4 with a problem with WEP encryption. It would loose connectivity every 3 min . Not enabling IEEE 801.11b certification on the apropriate checkbox... solved it. Seems a problem in windoze not in the router itself (don't know what's the effect of doing that).

Not up to the Linksys standard
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: The only pro I can really give it is the price. Technically, a Wireless router with operating at both A and G at this price would be very good.
Cons: I'm sad to say that I've owned this router for about 3 months now and I'm very disappointed with it. After upgrading the firmware and trying to setup my entire network with static IPs I feel like I've done almost all I can ...

Horrible
We have a revision 2 with the absolute latest firmware. On the plus side the thing does work provided that you don't use ANY of the ethernet ports.
However, we have two computers plugged into the ethernet port and the router dies after maybe 3 hours of up-time due to overheating. If we put it into the refridgerator for about 10 minutes to cool it off, then we're good to go for another 3 hours.
What a complete waste.

Beware!
I'm a network engineer and this thing is absolutely HORRIBLE!!
DHCP doesn't work well. I keep getting duplicate IPs on the network even when everything is set to use DHCP. It just doesn't handle DHCP requests well at all.
When I first got it, wireless G kept dropping out. I struggled w/ that for weeks. Now, I have to reset it almost 3 times a day because it just "stops working"... literally! Doesn't pass any traffic through it. I use VOIP and when talking on the phone, it just drop...
