Wireless-G Access Point
Chapter 1: Introduction
The Instant Wireless Wireless-G Access Point
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 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 new 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.
