Editorial Reviews:
|
Wireless-G is the upcoming 54Mbps wireless networking 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 Wireless-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 screaming fast Wireless-G standard as your needs grow.To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G Access Point can encrypt all wireless transmissions. 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.

Summary: easy setup
Comment: I was wanting to be able to install the network without using the CD. It seems like the CDs always make you install something that comes with spyware or virusware. After plugging in the Access Point to my network and not being able to find it with my laptop wireless NIC, I relented and used the CD.
No problems at all. I was setup in 2 minutes. No programs installed on my laptop, just a simple utility run only off the CD.

Summary: Works better than advertised
Comment: I got this access point (AP) in order to create an ethernet connection to my old iMac G3, which does not have wireless. My in-laws have a d-link router connected to the cable modem. After some fiddling (best to read instruction manual on the CD that came with the Linksys AP), I got it to work and now the iMac is connected to the internet. I am using it as an AP client, which receives wireless signal from a router and converts it to ethernet signal. (I had to change the mode to AP client by using a Web browser at address http://192.168.1.245/) The manual says that, if used as a AP client, it works only with a Linksys router or another Linksys AP. Well, lo and behold, it can work with a d-link router as well. Extrapolating, I can say that this AP should work with any well-behaving router with the right settings.

Summary: WAP54G set was easy
Comment: I bought this product over three years ago and its rock solid preformance intigated this review. I never review much and look only at the detailed ones as credible. Setup was easiest over the internet but this basically consists of linking it in and entering the IP address 192.167.1.1 and bang I was talking with the router. Security settings are easliy done too and I have 128-bit encryption running seemlessly with three wireless, one hard wired, and obe powerline ethernet connection. I have added my brothers computer by logging into the same IP address. I can't comment on 802.11-N technology but this G router has been awesome for me.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Poor software and configuration
Comment: I tried to run the automatic setup more than 5 times, no luck. I then used Windows to look for the wireless network and set it up that way. I cannot log onto the access point by entering it's IP address (192.168.1.245) into a browser window. It appears to work fine, has a long wireless range but I cannot setup the wireless security.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Hassle free
Comment: The Linksys WAP54G is well suited for personal and SOHO use. It supports a variety of security modes, from open networking, to WAP with RADIUS authentication. Initial configuration is simple.
