Amazon.com Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description The Linksys Wireless-G access point lets you connect Wireless-G (802.11g) or Wireless-B (802.11b) devices to your network. Because 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. For more information on the differences between an access point and a router with access point, see the following table:  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. Wireless-G is the upcoming 54 Mbps 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 2.4 GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices can also work with existing 11 Mbps Wireless-B equipment. 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. The Linksys Wireless-G access point is compatible with Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP. | 
See a comparison diagram of the different wireless technologies. | Wireless networks are rapidly becoming more popular and coming down in price. Since they don't require cables, you can use the devices anywhere in an office or home, even out on the patio. There's no need to roll out an Ethernet network cable to each room of a house; you can network anywhere--without wires. Outside the home, wireless networking is available in hotspots at coffee shops, businesses, and airports--great when you're on the road and need to get some work done. For convenience, wireless networking is the answer.
Which Wireless Standard Is Right for Me?
Now that you've decided to create a wireless network, the next step is to figure out which wireless standard to use. Basically, a standard is a set of specifications for a device. All devices that follow a specific standard share operating characteristics, such as the radio frequency used and maximum data transfer speed.
For wireless networking, there are three standards to choose from at this time: To learn about the differences between the standards and select the right one for your network, click here for an easy-to-understand chart. |

 WAP54G August 22, 2010
Victor G. Jackson (Forestville, MD)
The product is excellent, even though it is an older model. I have always used the WAP54G access point because it "does the job" and will probably continue to use this device/model for a while. The item was shipped and delivered in a short period of time, well within the period that was projected for delivery.
 WAP54G SUCKS July 28, 2010
Larry Cody
CANT ADJUST OUT PUT TRANSMIT POWER. DROPS SIGNALS. DOES NOT REACH THE 150 FEET THEY SAY IT WILL MORE LIKE 40 FEET..
Works like a charme July 28, 2010
Natty (Los Angeles, CA)
The WAP54G works very well and is very reliable. I have it installed about 100 feet away from the router. The signal boost is amazing. However, no manual for installation. If you don't know much about routers and bridging it might become a nightmare. Check the internet for installation help or write down your routers basic information. Knowledge required. Other than that: great product.
Overly complicated to set up July 26, 2010
Charmaine Petgrave
I had to search around the interne looking for a guide on how to set up WAP client mode, And the included CD-Rom doesn't even come with a wizard or anything to help you do that.
You had to set your network adapter to Static IP, then find find the WAP's default Static IP, which wasn't even written anywhere in the packaging. After all that, it wasn't too difficult to finish what I started. But gosh darn! Why the heck is it so complicated?! there's not even a manual to get you through all this, hence why I had to search around the internet for help.
Easy June 13, 2010

The Cisco-Linksys WAP54G Wireless-G Access Point is easy to install and use. The security is easy to setup. Works great. The range is perfect. I highly recommend.
