Wireless-G (802.11g) wire-
less networks

Protect your wireless
investment while
preparing your
infrastructure for the
future
Built-in 4-port Switch jump-
starts your wired network, while
the Router functionality
securely shares your high-
speed Internet connection
with wired and wireless com-
puters
The Dual-Band Wireless A+G Broadband Router is like four devices in
one box! The Router function lets you securely share one high-speed
Internet connection among your entire network, while the 4-port full
duplex 10/100 Switch jump-starts your wired-Ethernet network. Con-
nect four PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches to
create as big a network as you need.
The Dual-Band Wireless A+G Broadband Router also contains two
Wireless Access Points, supporting all three wireless networking specifi-
cations. The first Access Point uses the 2.4GHz radio band, supporting
both the popular and inexpensive Wireless-B (802.11b) standard at
11Mbps, and the new, almost five times faster, Wireless-G (802.11g) at
54Mbps. The second Access Point radio operates in the 5GHz band,
and supports Wireless-A (802.11a) networking, also at 54Mbps. Since
the two radios operate in different bands, they can work simulta-
neously, blanketing your wireless zone with bandwidth.
To protect your data and privacy, the Dual-Band Wireless A+G Broad-
band Router can encode all wireless transmissions with industrial
strength WPA encryption. The MAC Address filter lets you decide
exactly who has access to your wireless network. The Router also
serves as a DHCP Server, supports VPN pass-through, and can be con-
figured to filter internal users' access to the Internet. Configuration is a
snap with the web browser-based configuration utility.
With the Linksys Dual-Band Wireless A+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 the
flexibility, speed, and security you need!
