Amazon.com Product Description
The Linksys Wireless-G broadband router is really three devices in one box. First, it's a wireless access point, which lets you connect Wireless-G or Wireless-B devices to the network. There's also a built-in four-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, and it supports the industrial-strength wireless security of 802.1x authentication and authorization. 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 multiplayer games with the flexibility, speed, and security you need! Wireless-G is the 54 Mbps wireless networking standard that's more than four 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 2.4 GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices can also interoperate with existing 11 Mbps Wireless-B equipment. Because both standards are built-in, you can protect your investment in existing 802.11b infrastructure, and migrate to the new screaming-fast Wireless-G standard as your needs grow. 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. |

 DD-WRT? You're looking for the WRT54GL. November 21, 2008
R. Mott (Kansas City, MO)
If you've come here looking for a router to reprogram with DD-WRT, you should really consider buying the Linksys-Cisco WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router (Compatible with Linux) instead. It costs a bit more, but you'll find it has more memory and thus can support more features with new firmware. Worth every bit of the extra $8 or $10!
 Daylight Robbery!!! November 18, 2008
N. Andah (Washington.D.C.)
I owned this unit for slightly under a year (October 2007 - July 2008) and it worked pretty well as far as range and strength of the signal are concerned.
Wireless died July 2008 and after several calls to different numbers, Cisco customer service asked that I pay an additional $30 for a software upgrade on an item that was supposed to be under warranty.
Buyer beware!! This is my only experience with CISCO and my last (if I can help it).
 Great but need to keep an eye on it November 11, 2008
Nicholas De Jesus
Very easy to install and configure, even for a novice. Only main problem is every once in a while you have to reset it. Great signal strength, even from the basement and I am 2 stories up.
 Very Satisfied with this product and vendor November 10, 2008
D. Hamester
It's a great product to be used with any modem. We should of purchase two months ago, but kept putting it off, trying to use diffant things to save a few bucks. We ended up spending more time in than anything.
Buy this product, you'll be satisfied.
Solid router for years November 6, 2008
Raysworld01 (Michigan)
I have 2 of these routers. One for my office, and one for home. I have had good luck with them, and im satisfied with the strength of the wireless signal they provide. For the money they are a good choice, and i recommend them for anyone who wants to go wireless. I give it 5 stars.
