Linksys WAP54G 802.11b/g Wireless Access Point
Consumer Rating 
Price Range $48 - $90 Featured Merchants
Product Description Wireless-G is the 54Mbps wireless networking standard that's almost five times faster than Wireless-B (802.11b) products - but since they share the same 2.4GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices can also work with existing 11Mbps Wireless-B equipment. The Linksys Wireless-G Access Point lets you connect Wireless-G or Wireless-B devices to the network. Since both standards are built in, you can protect your investment in existing 802.11b infrastructure, and migrate your network clients to the new screaming fast Wireless-G standard as your needs grow. To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G Access Point can encrypt all wireless transmissions. The MAC Address filter lets you decide exactly who has access to your wireless network.

Written By mroccella Date Written Jan 24 2005 Summary The reason why I bought a wireless AP instead of a wireless gateway/router was because I already have a wired network with a good router and switch that I'm happy with. An access point, sometimes called a wireless hub, lets you add wireless clients to an... Strength Good performance. Good price. Linksys is a trusted name. Weakness The setup wizzard does not always work. Bottom Line This unit works great. Once you set it up you pretty much forget about it. Highly recommended.
