runs at gigabit when connected to wrt54g?

Linksys wrt54g wireless router has 10/100Mb/s Ethernet switch ports. The SE2800 switch will connect with the router at 100Mb/s, not Gigabit 1000Mb/s speeds. The rest of the SE2800 ports are available to operate at Gigabit speeds when connected to Gigabit devices.

Well, you don't need a GigE switch for that, since odds are you aren't pushing more than 10Mb to your router to the Net, but, maybe the switch is getting old and flakey. You could try getting a new GigE switch at a local store to test the "flakey old switch" theory, and if it fixes the problem, you know your old switch is no good.

Well, the WRE54G does affect the speed and generally halves the speed when logging on through that device. Why the signal is reduced may have to do with the security setup and the sequence in which the security was established. It is important that the security be established on the extender first and then the router. I use WEP rather than WPA as I find it easier to use and I believe it is basically as secure unless a very knowledgeable hacker gets on your gets onto your signal. Also, make sure the channel and SSID are the same on the router and extender. I hope this helps.

I don't know about the 110, but i own the 54g2. The stock Linksys firmware is not so good, IMO, but the open-source Linux-based dd-wrt firmware adds many features. Some of the dd-wrt features are options to boost speed and range, via various means (e.g. setting transmitter power output, creating a G-only network, etc.) Here is a description of some of the advanced wireless settings: http://www.dd-wrt.com/help/english/HWirelessAdvanced.asp And basic wireless settings: http://www.dd-wrt.com/help/english/HWireless.asp For more info about dd-wrt firmware, please see my review:

I replace my Linksys WRT54GS with the Dir-655 in hopes of raising speed. Placing the DIR-655 in exactly the same spot my range decreased significantly versus the Linksys router...as in NO signal about 50 feet away! The DIR-655 box says 6x the range! Baloney!

I have a WRT54GL and the CM100 is very nicely compatible. I checked the Wikipedia website for WRT54GS router info and see nothing to indicate a potential problem for you.

My devices are hooked up through a gigabit switch, however, the switch is reporting 10/100 speed on those ports. So to answer your question, it downgrades gigabit to 10/100.

Something is not right there. On a wired 1Gbps connection with a single copy I would expect at least 400Mbps, with speeds over 700Mbps on faster switches (efficient internal packet forwarding). That is from testing when I first received the unit (tested with 4 x 5200 RPM Toshiba 160GB in RAID 5, prior to 4 x 7200 RPM Seagate 750GB in SHR I have had in it since then - but I haven't tried that on a fast switch, my home switch seems to max about 500Mbps). For comparison, I've seen speeds close to single line speed (~900Mbps) on a DS713+/DX513 combo. If you are on WiFi, I would run hardwired tests for comparison. Then start troubleshooting your WiFi.

The setup that is being used here currently does not use PoE. (was purchased to upgrade/replace an old switch) We have verified that the connections are capable of the 1000MB/S with our farthest workstation showing throughput of 856MB/s to and from the server. Ours was new. (not refurbed) Has been flawless since integration.

I am not entirely sure, since I do not have a WRTP54G unit on hand. Another reviewer said that it did not fit his WRT54G.If you are able to remove the old antenna, do so, and compare its end with the zoomed in view of the booster antenna. I would probably give it a try, considering how much the price of this antenna has come down since I bought it!You could also order the below adapter at the same time, as it would give you more fitting options:TRENDnet RP-TNC to RP-SMA Adapter TEW-AMBABest wishes - hope it works as well for you as it does for me!!

I'm having the same problem with the ASUS PCE-AC56 and my AirPort Extreme. It's only seeing the 2.4ghz

I could be wrong, but if you have any other wi-fi devices running on B or G, you are limited to the fasted device on the router. I just got mine, so I will be setting it up tonight to be sure it works.

I can tell you that I have around 8 devices on the wifi at once at my house, on the N66U and have no issues. I run some on the 5ghz signal and see 450mb/sec connection. 216mb/sec on the 2.4ghz. I'm very impressed with this router.

Depends on the firmware version, but this tip may help: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/linksys-wusb54gc-v3-lucid-10-04-fine-out-of-box-w-minor-change-821123/

So your running 2 routers? using the 2nd as an extender? Have tried connecting direct to a computer and checked the speed?

This product will definitely limit your speed. I have a 50mbit comcast connection and this product limits it to 16mbs. This is very unclear from the packaging and datasheet. For a gigabit router to only support 24mbit downlink seems unacceptable.

A little, but you compensate with turning it up a little. Make sure you are not using a soft-start router, though. It doesn't like that.
