    What about D-Link DI-624 802.11g 108Mbps Wireless G Router? Is it similar to Linksys 55AG?

    If i were to reccomend you a router, i would just the say the Linksys WRT54GS for what you want. I seen your posts and that router looks right for you. If you dont want the speed booster than the WRT54G router.

    It speeds up transfer rates by 30% than the WRT54G. Please keep posting in this thread now. Dont create another thread again please.

    Personally, I hate using the software that comes with a Router. Plug it in, reset it if it's not brand new, connect a PC to it with a ethernet cord, go to the default gateway's IP via your web browser (generally, http://192.168.1.1), log in with the default user id/pw (admin/admin on linksys routers), and configure everything through the Router's built-in web utility. No software needed.

    Yes, i feel the same way as dont use the software included. I use there online setup of whoever made the router. Its a lot better.

    Funky: I would just go with the WRT54GS. You have posted five threads on what to get and i have told you countless times. For me, im not even familiar with the 55ag. So i reccomend you again the Wrt54gs.
