New SecureEasySetup feature makes wireless configuration push-button simple.
Wireless-G is the upcoming 54Mbps wireless networking standard that's almost five times as fast as 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 new 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, files, and other resources such as printers and hard disk storage space.

To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G Broadband Router can encode all wireless transmissions using 128-bit WEP encryption, and also supports industrial-strength Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) wireless security. The Router protects your PC from most known Internet attacks with a powerful Stateful Packet Inspection firewall. It can also serve as a DHCP Server, supports VPN pass-through, and can be configured to filter internal users' access to the Internet. And even with all this power, set up 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!

Verified Linksys products have been tested with Intel Centrino Mobile Technology for compatibility and interoperability, further enhancing your wireless experience.

5 of 5 Best for the money Thursday, July 24, 2008
Tom Dawson from Hawkinsville, GA  

As always this router has the best performance for the money. It is unfortunate they include a CD to help non technical users set up the unit. They stay non technical. It is one of the easiest to setup manually and secure properly. If you read any negative reviews on this router, it's the user not the router. I have read some that complained about the CD (read above). That support (ISP, Dell, Etc.) would not help them, guess what if you need help installing this, hire it done. If someone does not have the tools or expertise to do a tune up on a car, they take it to the shop. Why would someone without the tools or expertise try to setup a secure network. This unit out performs most other wireless routers.
