The Linksys BEFW11S4 Etherfast ® Wireless AP + Cable/DSL Router is an incredibly easy to use wireless device. After using this router and looking back at my previous bouts with wireless technology, I am simply amazed. Wireless technology has come a long way, and Linksys has done a bang up job of bringing it to the average household computer user. For the average computer user, this wireless router will be a good choice. However, I would be lying to you if I told you it was perfect, indeed there were often momentary lapses in connectivity and, as with all wireless devices, security is still very much an issue. I have heard that problems stem from the USB receiver and not the router itself. Another downside is that the router felt cheap in its plastic casing. But, compared to its peers in the wireless network market it stands alone in bringing an easy to use network to your home or office. The Linksys site often has firmware updates that address problems so check frequently.
