Product Description
The WRE54G Wireless-G Range Expander increases the effective coverage of your wireless network. Unlike other access points, this wireless expander doesn't require connection by a data cable. Just place it within range of your wireless router and bounce the signals off remote wireless devices. It's perfect for any wireless home or business network that requires wider coverage: Multi-story homes, warehouses, outdoor spaces and more.

 Horrible Performance January 5, 2009
I purchased two of these via another source for my work. The connectivity with my other wireless routers was horrible. The device would connect fine but would act rather weirdly. They would not pass-through dhcp half of the time. Internet connection would drop even though the wireless connection would stay connected. Linksys support for this device is pretty much non-existent too. Check out the Linksys Forums for this device if you do no believe me. Anyway, they were both RMA'd this week. Stay away from this product.
Run Away - Don't just walk January 3, 2009
I'm sure that the people at Linksys are really nice but this thing is a nightmare. Easy to set up if you don't want to secure your network. Impossible to set up if you do. Before you buy, head over to Google and type in "wre54g" and "install" and "problem". Then take three days to read through the results.
The only people who like this product are the newbies (who don't understand the need for network security) and the pros (who love a technical challenge). For the rest of us, this product is an extraordinary headache.
Flee, flee for your life.
Big time Headache January 2, 2009
This is the most frustrating product I have ever purchased. I have worked over 5 hours to make this thing work. It continually says congratulations you have successfully installed the expander. I have reset and start over numerous times with no success. The red/blue light which is to remain blue if connected to the router continually flashes red then blue. If you have hair I would not purchase this product as you will soon be bald.
 IT is not so easy December 28, 2008
Very nice and usefull product but it 1s not so easy to install it for amateurs. If the auto configuration doesn`t work the problems begins...
Wireless LAN Extension December 27, 2008
It works wonderfully! My router is upstairs and I work downstairs. Typically the connection fluctuates widely. Since I installed the wireless expander, I get 5-bars connectivity all the time. It is rare that a product works as well as advertised and this one does. It took 5 minutes to install and then I had green lights and a strong signal.
