PRODUCT DATA
Wireless-G Broadband Router
The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is really three devices in one box. First,
there’s the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect both screaming fast
Wireless-G (802.11g at 54Mbps) and Wireless-B (802.11b at 11Mbps) devices to the
network. There’s also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your
wired-Ethernet devices together. Connect four PCs directly, or attach 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.
Once your computers are connected to the Router and the Internet, they can
communicate with each other too, sharing resources and files. All your computers can
print on a shared printer connected anywhere in the house. And your computers can
share all kinds of files—music, digital pictures, and documents. Keep all your digital
music on one computer, and listen to it anywhere in the house. Organize all of your
family’s digital pictures in one place, to simplify finding the ones you want, and easing
backup to CD-R. Utilize extra free space on one computer when another’s hard drive
starts to fill up.
The new Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature makes it easy to configure your wireless
devices. Just push the button on the Router and on your other Wi-Fi Protected Setup-
enabled wireless device to automatically create a WPA2 connection that protects
your data and privacy with up to 256-bit industrial-strength encryption. The Router
can serve as a DHCP Server, has a powerful SPI firewall to protect your PCs against
intruders and most known Internet attacks, supports VPN pass-through, and can be
configured to filter internal users’access to the Internet. Advanced configuration is a
snap with the web browser-based interface.
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 multi-
player games with flexibility, speed, security and simplicity!

The maximum performance for wireless is derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual performance can vary, including lower wireless
network capacity, data throughput rate, range and coverage. Performance depends on many factors, conditions and variables, including distance
from the access point, volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, operating system used, mix of wireless products used,
interference and other adverse conditions.
