This review is from: Cisco-Linksys WTR54GS Wireless G Travel Router with SpeedboosterI'll be using this in hotels from now on; I used to carry a dlink di-614+ but with this I can share wireless hotspots as well. My only two reservations: 1) it gets very warm. 2) when using it to share a wireless connection, you can only use it to share an unsecure connection; i.e. it can't associate with a WEP or WAP access point....
This review is from: Cisco-Linksys WTR54GS Wireless G Travel Router with SpeedboosterAre you a road warrior? Do you travel to Europe? Do you want a box that's easy to plug into your network to add wireless when you're home? If so, this is the box for you!I set up two profiles - one to set up the box as a router when I'm on the road and want to plug into a hotel network, and another to make it act like a switch when I want to plug it into my home router to provide a wireless extension to my network.The first was easy - just follow the setup wizard. Or if you have other "smart" LinkSys products, just press the button. Caution: DO NOT press the button after you have set it up - it'll reset to default settings and then go hunting for another LinkSys device.Setting it up as a switch is a bit more difficult, but LinkSys support provided a clear answer within 24 hours. To make it work like a switch or hub:1. Find out the base IP address of your router by connecting to its admin page. It'll be something like 192.168.xx.1.2. Connect to this router's web-based pages. Default IP is 192.168.16.1.3. Set a static IP for this box to your router's address plus 1. For example, 192.168.xx.2.4. Turn off DHCP on this box and click Save - you'll be disconnected.5. Most Important: Now connect this box using the ETHERNET (not INTERNET) plug to your router.Voila! You now have a wireless extension to your home network that will support multiple wireless connections.Tip: As you set up the router, go to the Admin menu and save your profile. I have two separate ones saved on my laptop - one to turn the box back into a router for the road and a second to make it a switch at home....
This review is from: Cisco-Linksys WTR54GS Wireless G Travel Router with SpeedboosterI've been using this router all over the world on a daily basis for 9 months now -- and the last 6 months it's been used every day in Europe for a team of 3-4 people, with no problems whatsoever. So not only is this great for travel (with the 110-240 volt range, small size, etc.) but in my experience it works a lot better than other non travel modems for every day use....
