Product LineInstant Wireless
Product NameInstant Wireless WAP54G Wireless Access Point
Marketing InformationWireless-G is the upcoming 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 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. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration Utility.

Future-proof your wireless network with the Linksys Wireless-G Access Point. You'll enjoy Wireless-B connectivity today, and be prepared for a high-speed Wireless-G tomorrow.

    Linksys Wireless G Access...NOT!

    ""One Touch" setup... hook it up, press the button and bingo you have a wireless connection. That's what is printed on the box, but it was not to be. After spending two hours and a call to a useless support center in India, I came away frustrated and angry. The computer was an brand new out-of-the-box HP laptop which already was enabled and recognized the Wireless G Access was there. Trouble was the Wireless G A..." Read Full Review »
