The original Linksys base station (BEFW11S4) had two removeable 
antennas and a 4 port hub as part  of the package. Their router code 
however didn't work for crap for about 3 or 4 firmware releases, 
especially if you wanted to do NAT with it and run more than one host 
behind it. Worked fine as a bridge. The box has been rev'd at least 
once. The original design had quite a bit of infant mortality.

I've been using both the BEFW11S4 and an Apple AirPort Base Station in 
my home network since they originally came out.
