Product Description
Wireless-G is the 54Mbps wireless networking standard that's almost five times faster than the widely deployed Wireless-B (802.11b) products found in homes, businesses, and public wireless hotspots around the country - but since they share the same 2.4GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices can also interoperate with existing 11Mbps Wireless-B equipment.Since both standards are built in, you can protect your investment in existing 802.11b infrastructure, and migrate to the screaming fast Wireless-G standard as your needs grow.The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect Wireless-G or Wireless-B devices to the network. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices. Connect four PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G Broadband Router can encrypt all wireless transmissions. The Router can serve as a DHCP Server, has NAT technology to protect against Internet intruders, supports VPN pass-through, and can be configured to filter internal users' access to the Internet. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility.With the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router at the center of your home or office network, you can share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers, and multi-player games with the flexibility, speed, and security you need!

For more information on the differences between an access point and a router with access point, see the following table:  | 
See a comparison diagram of the different wireless technologies. | Wireless networks are rapidly becoming more popular and coming down in price. Since they don't require cables, you can use the devices anywhere in an office or home, even out on the patio. There's no need to roll out an Ethernet network cable to each room of a house; you can network anywhere--without wires. Outside the home, wireless networking is available in hotspots at coffee shops, businesses, and airports--great when you're on the road and need to get some work done. For convenience, wireless networking is the answer.
Which Wireless Standard Is Right for Me?
Now that you've decided to create a wireless network, the next step is to figure out which wireless standard to use. Basically, a standard is a set of specifications for a device. All devices that follow a specific standard share operating characteristics, such as the radio frequency used and maximum data transfer speed.
For wireless networking, there are three standards to choose from at this time: To learn about the differences between the standards and select the right one for your network, click here for an easy-to-understand chart. |

 Unreliable August 28, 2008
Thomas Kraus
I owned two of these one replacing the other, both needed to be rebooted every couple of weeks and both of the conked out after less than a year. I now have a D-Link wireless N router that has been problem free for more than 18 month now.
 Excelent for Open Source Enthusiast August 25, 2008
Joel J. Madero (Bay Area, CA)
I just purchased my second WRT router. The great thing about them is that there is open source firmware that makes the router as good as the $200+ routers out there. The firmware upgrade allows you to do things such as remotely turning on/off your computer, advanced port options, advanced firewall, etc... For more info on it check it out at:

 Good router August 25, 2008
Wayne Manor (Boston, MA)
I bought this solely for the purpose of upgrading it to dd-wrt
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/How_To_Flash_the_WRT54Gv8
The upgrade went smoothly and now I have a wireless bridge for a reasonable cost.
Not recommended for beginners, but it wasn't hard to do.
got it love it August 24, 2008
Lynda Darrow
I bought this and my friends told me how hard to hook up..so of course went into it scared, put the cd in and followed instructions did not work. So I uninstalleded, cooled down put cd in just put a user name and pass word and I was in business..I have a very big yard took my laptop outside and got internet every where I went, love it.
Oh my this router stinks! August 23, 2008
W. Robinson (Sturgis, SD USA)
I ordered this router because of the high rating it received. I've had nothing but trouble with it. It was a miracle if I could get online first thing in the morning, & even if I could, it was only a matter of minutes before I got kicked offline, & I had to repeatedly plug & unplug (for 30 seconds each time) the router to get maybe another 5-10 minutes of online time.
I used their online chat tech support, & downloaded firmware, reset the router, & nothing worked. So they had me send back the router & they sent me a new one.
Same problems started immediately. I've had it.
I thought Linksys would be a really good router because of Cisco's reputation. I was wrong. I've bought a Belkin N-Router instead & am hoping it works better.
