Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Linksys WTR54GS Wireless G Travel Router with Speedbooster

Customer Review: Great product that burns up after a year or so.
Summary: 1 Stars

This was a very nice product overall. I agree with most of the positive reviews thus far. The unit overheats. I am on my second one. It is now overheating even in wintertime in an unheated apartment in western Japan. It will work for about 5 minutes then lock up when the temperature inside the unit gets too high. This is not a defect in this unit. The last unit had a similar problem but overheated in summertime and melted down. This unit melted down its wireless transceiver about 3 months ago but I could still use the ethernet ports for the last few months. Now those also appear to be failing. I can only say that this appears to be bad design for cooling. It really is ONLY a travel router. I was using it 24x7 for Internet access while overseas this time and also with the last unit 2 years ago. Don't buy this unit for constant operation. It can't take the continued use. It will overheat and fail.
UPDATE 3/15/09 - Unit has completely burnt out about 2 months ago. Replaced it with a $29 IO Data brand box that isn't nearly as nice (but at least it doesn't turn to toast).
