PRODUCT DATA
Wireless-G Broadband Router with
SpeedBooster
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.
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 specied by the ocial 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.
The new push button setup feature makes it easy to congure your wireless devices.
Just push the button on the router and on your other SecureEasySetup-enabled
wireless device to automatically create an encryption-secured wireless connection.
Wi-Fi Protected Access™2 (WPA2) protects your data and privacy with up to 128-bit
industrial-strength encryption and 802.1x authentication and authorization. The
Router can serve as a DHCP Server, has a powerful SPI rewall to protect your PCs
against intruders and most known Internet attacks, and supports VPN pass-through.
Conguration is a snap with the web browser-based conguration utility.
With the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster at the center of your
home or oce network, you can share a high-speed Internet connection, les, printers,
and multi-player games with the exibility, speed, security and simplicity!

PRODUCT DATA
The maximum performance for wireless is derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specications. 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 trac, building materials and construction, operating system used, mix of wireless products used,
interference and other adverse conditions.
