Wireless-G Broadband Router 

Chapter 1: Introduction

Wireless-G is the upcoming 54Mbps wireless networking standard that’s
almost five times faster than the widely deployed Wireless-B (802.11b) prod-
ucts found in homes, businesses, and public wireless hotspots around the coun-
try—but since they share the same 2.4GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices can
also interoperate with existing 11Mbps Wireless-B equipment.  

Since both standards are built in, you can protect your investment in existing
802.11b infrastructure, and migrate to the new screaming fast Wireless-G stan-
dard as your needs grow.

The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is really three devices in one box.
First, there’s the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect Wireless-G or
Wireless-B devices to the network.  There’s also a built-in 4-port full-duplex
10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices. Connect four PCs
directly, or daisy-chain out to 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.

To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G Broadband Router can encrypt
all wireless transmissions.  The Router can serve as a DHCP Server, has NAT
technology to protect against Internet intruders, supports VPN pass-through,
and can be configured to filter internal users’ access to the Internet.
Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility.

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 the flexibility, speed, and security you need!
