Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Make sure you do some reasearch before purchasing this router. I purchased the WRT54G3G-ST from CDW Warehouse. I have a Gateway M320 Laptop with a Sierra 580 Aircard from Sprint. I followed the instructions step by step to the letter. In the middle of installing, the Linksys installation program stopped at step five, and stayed that way for 20 minutes. I had to terminte the program and start over. Once I got the router configured, all of my wireless computers could connect to the router. That was not an issue. The problem I had was the blue light to the Air Card would continue to flash, attempting to connect to the Sprint service. Something that would take seconds without the router, was taking minutes... or would not connect at all. Sometimes it would connect, sometimes it would not. I called the support at Linksys, and reached some folks who wanted to help, but were so thickly accented and hard to hear, I could not communicate easily. I tried three different people. Instead, I called the support over at Sprint. They told me that they could not support my issue, because the Sprint Card was not inserted into the laptop. If the card is inserted into the router, I would have to call Linksys... even though this router has a Sprint sticker on the outside of it. FInally, I called CDW Warehouse, and after speaking with a support person, he told me that the Sierra AC 580 was not compatible with the WRT54G3G-ST router. He told me that Sprint and Linksys say that it is, yes, but that he had many support issues just like mine with the 580 card. After a few more hours of testing, a few more resets, I gave it up. I had to send it back.
