The Linksys Wireless-G broadband router is really
three devices in one box. First, it's a wireless access point, which lets you
connect Wireless-G or Wireless-B devices to the network. There's also a built-in
four-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, and it
supports the industrial-strength wireless security of 802.1x authentication and
authorization. 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 multiplayer games with the flexibility, speed,
and security you need!
Wireless-G is the 54 Mbps wireless networking
standard that's more than four 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 interoperate with existing 11 Mbps Wireless-B equipment.
Because 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.

an access point and a router with access point, see the following table:

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:
