I installed the WRT54GX tonight - and I'm going to be writing a formal review in the next few days. In the meantime, in a nutshell, it's the best wireless router I've ever seen. I'm extremely impressed - but am I $170 impressed? Not really. There's only one "gotcha" - you will probably have to get rid of your 2.4 GHz phones, this sucker puts out so much power it knocks them out instead of the other way around. You will also have to run some tight security or you will be sharing with your whole neighborhood. LAN performance is wired quality.
