 Don't Buy It October 30, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I don't recommend this product to any one. This item sounds great, but don't let the discription fool you. Yeah, it will expand your network, but only if you don't have AT&T as your network provider. It doesn't connect well with the 2WIRE, always loses signal, and I found its better to use the internet with out plugging in that useless junk. Call the 800 number, they didn't fix a thing. I though it would be best for them to set it up,via remote connection to my computer, so they offered to do so. It cost 9.99 and you would think they know what they are doing...NOPE. The guy ended up messing up my home network and since the linksys was displaying it works he called it good. They din't refund my money because the guy had said it was working when I got off the phone with him. Point of the stoy, DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF CRAP UNLESS YOU HAVE A LINKSYS ROUTER.
 Works Great October 24, 2008
After installing the product, which was quite easy I might add, my signal increased from an of average of 11.0 Mbps to 54.0 Mbps. I couldn't be more satisfied.
Tough install. October 24, 2008
We recently installed a Linksys wireless router WRT54G2. It required the two of us about two hours to setup and get operational. We quickly found that it didn't cover more than a few rooms in our house and not the far office about 60 feet away on the same floor. We purchased a Range Expander, WRE54G to cover the other side of the house. My wife, a software programer for a large company, spent 2 hours trying to get this installed before giving up. I, a software designer and training manager for a small company, gave it a shot next. I called Linksys right away to get there help. Linksys gave up after 90 minutes and suggested my paying ten bucks and letting them take control of my laptop to complete the install. Another half hour later and we were up. Piece of cake. Two evenings, a divorce, speaking with an Indian accent now, and we have two bars in the far office!
Linksys Wireless-G expander - WRE54G October 19, 2008
I would highly recommend this expander. Used in an office enviornment through 3 walls and a distance of approx. 50 feet. When I first set up my pc, I had little or no signal at all. Others who were at about 40 feet and only 2 walls, had poor signal strength, but, were able to acess the internet. Rather than go through the expense of hard wiring, which was suggested by my local PC store, I decided to purchase this expander.
Although I did have to call Linksys Tech support in getting it set up, after 5 minutes, I was up and running. Now, all PC's in my office are showing "Excellant" signal strength. Have used for about 1 month with no problems at all.
 Not an Easy Set-up Using WEP October 12, 2008
With 3 cinderblock walls between the wireless router and my computer, this was a very attractive product.
I had lots of difficulty setting this up with WEP encryption already active on my network. I had to turn off WEP and use the automatic configuration to get it to work, hoping to use the web based utility to then add WEP back. The automatic confiiguration worked like a charm, but it was very difficult to add the WEP. It took 2 e-mails and 30 minutes on the phone to get it to work.
Kudos to the service department, though. I received a follow-up phone call after the second e-mail and the representative gave me the 800 number (800-325-7114. I could not find it on their web site.) I'm not sure that e-mails alone would have worked.
Anyhow, it is working fine now using 128 bit encryption.
