It's terrible.  I got my mum a WAG54G-UK, which appeared to suffer from 
a terrible design fault - every few hours the wireless would cut out for 
half an hour or so (ESSID stopped being advertised and no way to connect 
to the network through the AP).

After a week the entire unit packed in.  Googling around the subject 
indicated that this wasn't a unique issue, it appeared to be related to 
a heat problem on the unit.

Linksys switches are also poor, you can spend only a little more and get 
a lot more performance.

Linksys bought Cisco in 2003 to sell to the domestic, tiny-business 
marketplace.  There's nothing in common between the green-box expensive 
stuff and Linksys stuff.
