    I have had the Linksys WRT54G for two years. Problem free. It is 802.11g compliant and has 4 ethernet ports. It was dead simple to setup. You're up and running in minutes. The web interface makes configuration easy. I use it with NTL broadband. Input is via an ethernet cable.

    My model has been replaced by the WRT54G with Speedbooster technology. It is e88.59 at elara.ie (e100 at Peats.com). The Speedbooster bit needs a Speedbooster wireless card in your computer.

    it will work with it, but just not with the "speedbooster" enabled.. typically things like that are just proprietrary compression or dodgy channel-bonding anyway.

    The linksys I found problems with it. PnP wouldn't work properly and using some software actually crashed my machine (known issue with router+software used together).

    I switched over to a 3Com router. No problems with that at all.
