Editorial Reviews :
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.
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.
Buyer Reviews :
Connecting a single 802.11b client drops the entire network to 802.11b speed, according to CNet's review of the item (which another person here mentioned). That's disappointing, to say the least. Most people buying 802.11g probably have some 802.11b equipment already. So without the ability to support mixed networks well, this is just an overpriced 802.11b access point.
In contrast, an AirPort Extreme base station will continue to give 802.11g cards faster connections than 802.11b ones, according to Apple's knowledgebase document 107372. This difference is more than enough to justify the AirPort Extreme base station's higher price.
