Nice and useful May 8, 2008
Ramesh C. Pandey (iowa city, ia)
I had all linksys earlier, but when I changed my printer to new canon mfc 4150 it had only usb port, so I had to buy a new print server, this router not only updated my wireless but also provided me with a print server function. I use 2 laptops and one server at home both laptop use wireless works great, and server use a wire, all machine can use printer works great. The only problem I had once - I think the firmware corrupted and USR support fixed it in 2 days - first their general support could not fix it, because the wireless light went off and even the router could not be accessed by a wired computer, laptop got some funny windows assigned IP , and no admin screen on 192.168.2.1 showed up .. so the next day their adv tech support called to update the firmware, tftp command from the command window updated the firmware and all lights came up nice and bright - ie a working router again ..
I have media com cable a motorola modem, connected to this maxg, and from maxg i connect one linksys vonage phone adaptor, that also has dns server and i use both just have them on diff ip range..
so basically working nice for me for a year or so ..

My old Robotics wireless router (USR8054) works better than this newer model. My old system had two antennas, this one only has one. Not sure if that's the reason. All I know is I tried this MAXg and it could not transmit through my home's plaster walls as well as the older model I have. It's probably OK for those with sheetrock walls and without steel beams/studs.
 Good Secured Wireless Network Router (though have issue with print server) December 30, 2007

If you are looking for a router with the latest in security and simple set-up for a reasonable price... this is the router for you. It does what it's supposed to do... send a decent wireless signal, allow wired connections, and provide security against people using your network.
I have an issue with the Print server (did not work for the Dell Printer). Dell has not been able to resolve the issue if the issue lies with their software or otherwise.
Overall, I think this is a good router and has worked very well for me for the past two years. I give it a 5, even though the print server did not work for me. Provides what I need it for - wireless and network security!!!
 A Pain toUse December 28, 2007

I have owned this product for several months now. I have to go through a stupid step to use it. I was having a really hard time getting connected to the Web after I hooked up this router. I finally figured out a fool-proof way. I have to turn on my laptop and let it boot up. Then I have to walk over to the router and unplug it on the back of the unit and wait about 30 seconds. I then plug it back in. After a minute or two of waiting, I then get my wireless connection to the Web. How dumb! I should have returned it, but waited too long (guess I was hoping for a miracle). If I buy another router, it won't be this brand.
 Usefull but not perfect December 26, 2007

I purchased the USR5461 router to set up a wireless connection a PC located in another room from the cable modem. I installed a USR5417 PCI card in the PC. Installation of both the card and the router were straight forward and the wireless networking came up painlessly. However, early on I had trouble maintaining the connection so I downloaded a new driver for the PCI card and that fixed the issue of dropped connections. I get 54Mb connection routinely but cannot get the 125 Mb MaxG rate.
The primary reason I chose this router is for the built-in print server. I wanted to print from the PC to the HP printer in my wife's office where the cable modem resides. While I successfully installed the printer on both computers and printed from each, the print server would hang in the middle of most print jobs. The only way to clear it was to power cycle the router. I'm investigating newer printer drivers but so far nothing has helped.
Bottom line is: OK networking but poor print server preformance.
