this product was the perfect gift for my husband to use with his lap top.
Anyway, I replaced the BEFSR41 with the WRK54G, hooked up all the wired connections (3 total, including a print server) and everything worked. One thing I did notice was that anytime I made a change to my wireless settings on the router or laptop (especially wireless security), I had to cycle power on the router. I've had a Linksys BEFSR41 4 port wired router for the last 7 years and it has been as solid as a rock. I bought the Linksys WKPC54G Wireless-G Network Kit for Notebooks on Amazon for a great price ($36.25). Buy it if the price is right. To make a long story short, I powered the router off/on and everything (including my Internet connection) worked fine.
The software indicated that it was connected to the router but it said I had no Internet connection.
Internet and local network worked fine.
All in all, this combo works great.
I must say I was very apprehensive because of all the negative reviews.
Hardwire connections never had a problem.
Turnkey installation.
Next, I installed the CD software for the wireless card on a 4 year old DELL laptop (Windows XP) and everything went okay.
Range is pretty good and all my kids wireless game devices have no problem connecting.
I've used it 3 days, only time will tell.
Got them off my computer and didn't have to run wires all around the house. Cheep fits my budget. Behind the curve but didn't have to finance it. Good enough to download and can use it at opposite side of the house at 45% conectivity at fifty feet away.
Excellent product, installed without problems, operates as expected. Product was delivered as expected in excellent condition.
and u're online in 5 seconds. go against what it says. then later on u can try goin thru the manual. do NOT run any CD, etc. simply plug in the internet wire into the butt hole of this router. amazing speed, very simple, quick n efficient. i approve.
