Linksys WRTP54G Wireless-G Broadband Router for Vonage Internet Phone Service

Use the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router at the center of your home-office network, you can share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers, and multi-player games, and Internet phone service!

The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is really four devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect both screaming fast Wireless-G (802.11g at 54Mbps) and Wireless-B (802.11b at 11Mbps) devices to the network. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Connect four PCs directly, or attach more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. The Router function lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. The fourth function is the phone adapter which enables high-quality feature-rich telephone service through your high-speed connection even while you're surfing the Internet. There are two standard telephone jacks, each operating independently -- like having two phone lines. With Vonage Service, you'll get low domestic and international phone rates, Caller ID, Call Waiting, Voicemail, Call Forwarding, Distinctive Ring, and lots of other available special phone features. Choose any free local dialing US area code, regardless of where you live. Add a virtual phone number in any area code, or even a US-wide toll-free number. To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G Broadband Router can encode all wireless transmissions with up to 128-bit encryption, and supports both Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and the industrial-strength wireless security of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). The Router can serve as a DHCP Server, has a powerful SPI firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks, supports VPN pass-through, and can be configured to filter internal users' access to the Internet. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configur
Customer Review: Be prepared to replace often
Ugh, I've been using Vonage for four years now and have had four of this unit and it's predecessors. The unit will work great for a year and then all of a sudden something will die, never to work again. This time around all four of the ethernet ports died. Last time both phone ports died. I never even used port 2. When I called Vonage about it the tech tried to switch me from port 1 to port 2 so I could continue to use the router only to find it dead. This time around I've bought the D-Link. I had hoped that Linksys would get better when Cisco bought them out but apparently that is not to be.
Customer Review: I Hope This Router Burns Forever
If you want a crappy product here ya go, this is the definition of it! The phone service was laughable (such as when someone called when you were talking to someone else it would disconnect you. Sometimes you would sound like Barry White but only like 1% of the time. I personally found this funny when calling my friends.) The Wireless is horrendous if you want to anything else than E-mail or IM. Yet the wired speed wasn't bad, but neither is my modem... If you have to buy this router buy it for looks even though it's kinda ugly. If your looking for a fast wireless hookup with great phone i'd reccomend the DIR-625 Router and the VTA-VR phone adapter. This combo gives you crystal clear phone calls and amazing wireless gaming capability.
