Wireless-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 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.
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!

Rated 5 out of 5 byRetired1SG from First Router - Hard to replaceThis was my first router back in 2006. I still have it and it is going strong. Over Christmas this year, with laptops, netbooks, cell phones, game systems and a smart TV, there were at least 26 units pulling a signal.I am looking to possibly upgrade to an AC router to improve range and speed but after reading dozens of reviews on different products, I am not sure it is a smart move.Does anyone know if the range and speed would be improved with an AC router over how this router performs?

Rated 5 out of 5 byBrian54 from Outdated technologyI received this as a gift. I called Linksys for support, rep said it was out of warranty. Apparently this is so old the manufacturer's warranty expired while it was on the shelf!!

Rated 5 out of 5 byBetsy272 from Excellent value for the priceThough this product has not changed it's design since 4 or 5 years ago, it is still the same reliable, user-friendly unit but cheaper cost to consumers.
