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 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 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.

Reviewed by Will Palfree. Review Posted 13/12/2008
This is the second one of these we have bought, very easy to set up and configure with the disc, no need to dig into techno bable like the netgear one (which took ages to set up, the netgear manual is written by some networking IT prodigy and we couldnt understand any of it!). It is on the big side compared with others and the price seams to have gone up a tenner from the last one, the range / signal strength is very good. Happily recommend it to anyone.

Very good access point. Upgrade the firmware to latest version. To log on to the http config page you need to put in a blank username! Also when used as a repeater, it only works with other devices from linksys.

Out of the box into the modem, 2 x PC's and laptop on Linksys cards, 5 minutes were all on the network. What can I say but the most simple product to setup on a wireless network. So good I have implemented at work with 5 PC's and 4 laptops even the range is 50% better than other major products on the market.
Security for the office was simple and of high standard.
If you want to go wireless buy this.
