Future-Proof your Wireless Network
with High-Speed Wireless-G!
Set up a high-speed
Wireless-G (802.11g)
network in your home
or office.
Advanced wireless
security with WPA,
128-bit WEP encryp-
tion, and MAC filtering.
Data rates up to
54Mbps —5 times
faster than Wireless-B
(802.11b).
Also interoperates
with Wireless-B net-
works (at 11Mbps).
Wireless-G is the upcoming 54Mbps wireless net-
working 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 Wire-
less-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 new
screaming fast Wireless-G standard as your needs
grow., and 1Mbps network speeds for maximum
availability and reliability of connection. So you’ve
got the flexibility and performance you need from
your wireless LAN.
To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G
Access Point can encrypt all wireless transmissions,
and supports the industrial-strength security of WPA.
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.
