Reviews of the Linksys WRT54GX2 Wireless-G router with SRX200
-
CNET Review
The Good: For the price, the Linksys WRT54GX2 offers decent performance, clear documentation, a thoughtful design, and a generous warranty.
The Bad: The Linksys WRT54GX2 came up short in long-range throughput tests, even when compared to another two-antenna MIMO router.
The Bottom Line: If you don't need extended range from a router, the Linksys WRT54GX2 is a good choice if you want to take advantage of MIMO technology but can't afford the hefty price. Still, Belkin offers a better performer that costs less.
