Product Description: Linksys WRT54GS Wireless-G with SpeedBooster Broadband

The Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect Wireless-G, Wireless-B, and other performance-enhanced SpeedBooster devices to the network.

The Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect Wireless-G, Wireless-B, and other performance-enhanced SpeedBooster devices to the network. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.

The Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster incorporates the next generation of Wireless-G (802.11g) networking. SpeedBooster technology is a compatible add-on to standard Wireless-G, which increases "real-world" wireless network performance by up to 35%. Unlike other speed-enhancing technologies, SpeedBooster is fully 802.11 compliant, and a "good neighbor" to other wireless devices and technologies, using a single 2.4GHz channel as specified by the official wireless standard. And, unlike other technologies, with SpeedBooster you'll see an overall speed improvement even when running a mixed network of SpeedBooster and regular Wireless-G devices.

    Good Basic Wireless LAN Router

    By Allen  Sep 11, 2005 | 5 out of 7 found this Linksys WRT54GS Wireless-G with SpeedBooster Broadband review helpful

    Pros: Stable, good range, nice looks

    Cons: no Mac instructions, some features lacking

    I bought this router to replace a D-Link DI-624 which is a piece of junk. This router is 100 times better, but I do miss some of the more advanced features of the DI-624. I have a Mac/PC environment, both wired and wireless. When I got this router i...t didn't so much even mention the Mac, which is stupid. Setup, Linksys describes it, amounts to running a Windows program, which may or may not find your connected router. If it doesn't, your basically out of luck. In reality, you can connect this router up to either a Mac, PC, or Unix box, and get it configured without any utility. Just communicate with it, set the IP correctly, then hook it up normally using its web pages. The problem with the Linksys method of configuration it that its not likely to work for beginners, and is too basic for advanced users. Oh, well, someday they will learn that Windows setup "helpers" are not the way to go, or at least not the only way to go. In any case, this router is a pl Read more Less

    Pros: versatility

    Cons: troubleshooting, disconnects, tech support

    I just purchased the wireless router due to being in a new apartment where i have 2 computers and a PS2 that use my cable modem. I bought the router with the matching wireless-g network cards and proceed to install. After a grueling 4 hours I've ...finally managed to install(correctly) and troubleshoot all problems that have arised(thus far). My advice, if you buy the network card and router, install both at the same time. Read more Less

    Desktops Dying? Hardly. Here's What's New in PCs

    Innovation is alive and kicking in the land of desktop PCs. Here are five important trends to watch this year. Every year, some industry analysts dutifully point to the growing popularity of notebooks--and predict that the PC will soon be dead. But that's far from the truth. In fact, rumors of the desktop's demise have been greatly exaggerated. According to our research, PC buyers will be enticed with faster chips, massive storage options, different form factors, and better screens for viewing video, as well as reliable hubs for home networks--making it easier for you to beam video, audio, and other digital media to devices throughout your home and office.
