Great little router I would actually rate it closer to 4.5 stars. The range is comparable to the Linksys WRT54G v5 that it replaced so don't be discouraged by the single antenna on the USR5461.
The router software interface is simple and pretty straight forward. I don't think the options are laid out as nicely as with Linksys and D-Link, but it still works well. The HTML code is a bit sloppy because it doesn't render as well in Firefox as it does in Internet Explorer. The interface is still usable ...

Great router & print server! I was looking for a router for a new HP "LiveStrong" XP laptop. I already had a working XP PC with a 2WIRE DSL modem and a printer. I wanted to be able to print from the laptop through the router and USR seemed to be one of three router that do that (also, linksys and SMC). The reason why I chose URS was that it had a USB printer connection (linksys doesnt) and got great previous reviews (SMC had a lot of negatives). I am very happy with this gadget. It's small and stylish. The installation was ...

Great Product I am very pleased with this router. It the only router, that I'm aware of, that has a built in print server. Set-up was easy. It walked me through security and encryption without giving me all the techie verbiage. Buy this product if you want wireless at home. Hook you printer up to it and print from any room in the house. Signal is great. I have it buried in my basement under my desk and still was getting an "Excellent Signal" the next floor up.

USR 5461 SECURITY ISSUE There is a firmware error in the USR5461 wherein the adminitrator's
interface is immediately accessable to anyone on the internal network
(e.g., drive-by wireless sniffers) simply by entering the the router's
WAN IP address in the address bar of any browser. It makes no difference
whether or not 'remote administration' is disabled or enabled.
If you are using this router, create a new and complex password NOW
and change it often. Meanwhile, complain vigorou...

U.S. Robotics Wireless MAXg Router (USR5461) This US Robotics model 5461 router is by far the easiest to setup than any of 4 I've done. The 5461 automatically detects ISP settings, has another channel other than channel 6 selected as default, has WPA security selected as default and has universal plug&play disabled, and all one need do is follow installation wizard, enter WPA encryption key when prompted and turn off SSID broadcast. I was up and running in only about 5 minutes! Note WPA security is very secure whereas WEP is not secure,...

Easy setup. Love the print server. Pros:
1. Very easy to setup (my first time setting up a wireless router). In fact I think it pretty much worked after plugging it in. Logging in to the settings allows you to set up secure mode, if desired. You can designate MAC addresses for specific wireless devices which are allowed to connect, and block all others.
2. The print server works easily. As with any printer, you need to install the print driver on each machine you want to print from. That's it.
3. The range is...

Kudos! The best ever! I've installed 4 wireless routers until I settled on the popular Linksys WRT54G. I wanted a wireless printsever so I got the Linksys WPS54GU2 which ended up in the dumpster.
When I needed more range I started considering changing my router for something a bit more powerful... enter USR5461.
Not only did it take literally 1 minute to install and configure, but it also covered some spots previously no signal could reach.
But the golden feature is the built-in...

Great price, features, and functionality I reasearched for some time comparing the different G+ routers, and decided on to try this one. I am glad I did! I am not using the matching MaxG card in my computer, but the regular Intel wireless G that my laptop came with built in. In my testing, I get a full 54 meg connection in all corners of my 2000+ square foot home with no signal degradation at all. I then took my laptop outside for a walk around the neighborhood. I was able to go about 150 feet from my house before the signal and spe...

What they don't advertise I was a little disappointed when at first I could not connect at 125Mbps. After some troubleshooting on their website I learned that if you have other wireless devices that are not MAXg you will only get a 54Mbps connection. Also mentioned is possible interference from cordless telephones (who doesn't have several of these nowadays). After unplugging my networks two wireless printers and one wireless ethernet bridge it did connect my laptop at 125Mbps. I probably wouldn't have purchased this...

worked.. sorta.. nevermind.. no it didn't.. This router was good for about 3 months. It worked great on my wired machines. The wireless worked great for MS machines, but my IBook wouldn't connect. I tried to upgrade to the latest firmware, but it crapped out and I had to send it in for repair. I have a webserver on the network and I couldn't connect to it locally. Suppoort said that the firewall wouldn't let me and there was no solution. I finally bought a linksys. Couldn't be happier.
