 Plan on 3rd-party firmware if you regularly use ssh or telnet October 15, 2008
Aesthetics aside, I've found few differences from the original WRT54G models. Reception is surprisingly good for internal antennae, and the web config interface is familiar.
Linksys won't let you change the TCP idle timeout, though. Use DD-WRT, traffic hacks/keepalives, or expect your idle terminal connections to be axed at 10 minutes. Wish I'd realized that before I decided to order this over another original WRT54G(L).
 The best router October 15, 2008
This is to let other people know that this is the best router you can get, very fast, the buit in antenna is fabulous. Works very very fine.
 Much worse than the original WRT54G October 15, 2008

Lack of external antennas really caused the signal to suffer in my ~1400 square foot condo. I used to get a decent signal at the opposite corner, now the signal completely drops out halfway between the router and the opposite corner.
The funny thing is, it's not even any sort of obstruction. 15' away from the router with no obstructions and I already have a reduced signal. Do yourself a favor and purchase the original. Been checking for a firmware update, still none available. Where's the support for this new product?
First Wieless October 14, 2008
Never installed a wireless router before. The WRT54G2 was straightforward and got us up and running in short order. The product now has been working reliably for one month. Its sleak low-profile design rests on top of my desk almost without notice.
great! October 14, 2008
I have always had problems with incompatibilities between modems and routers having to restart the router every few days. Never with this one. It is fast and easy to use. You will forget that you have it as your network stays up all times. Very reasonable price. Fast enough for Comcast's High Speen Internet.
