The Linksys Wireless-G Access Point lets you connect Wireless-G or Wireless-B devices to the network. Wireless-G devices can also work with existing 11Mbps Wireless-B equipment. To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G Access Point encrypts all wireless transmissions, as well as supporting the industrial-strength WPA security protocol. The MAC Address filter lets you decide exactly who has access to your wireless network. With the web browser-based configuration utility, configuration is a snap.

While the case is made reasonably well and network was easy to set up, this product was a disappointment to me. It seems that every time I shut down the my laptop I have to reboot the router to get a signal again. I would rather plug in an ethernet cable, or better yet get a rtouter that actually keeps the network available.
Great product for a great price

It is doing exactly what I wanted it to do. Has great range - mine is set up inside a newer metal-frame building and still gets the signal through to all the offices. It was a snap to set up. I agree that their tech support is not that great. In researching this product I called them. I was told that this device couldn't handle more than a single computer connecting to it. That it wouldn't be able to pass-through more than a single IP address. I knew that wasn't true and bought it anyway, and have numerous systems connected. Anyway, even if you've never set up a wireless access point, you'll be able to get this going with no trouble. I gave it all fives because it is doing exactly what I expected of it.

I have been using the linksys WAPs for home wireless networking for years. The first one (wireless B)quit after a few years (thus the quality mark), this second one has been working for over 3 years. Easy to use and setup if you know what wireless networking needs. One trap you can fall into is plug and play. Sure it works, but it creates a default network with generic network name that everyone sees and can use from the neighborhood, plus the access to the built in web page for admin has a generic username and password that anyone can use. Change them all, set up a security key for encryption, change the network ID, turn off the broadcast for network ID (you'll have to enter it on each device you connect only once), and turn off the broadcast. Decent quality of service features and security, but you have to use it. I have it in my home office, and the range is limited through walls, but no worse that wireless phones. In spite of this, I like it, best value for the home user.

I have owned this since 2007. It works pretty well most of the time, however, does seem to endure some interference at times. I must directly connect to my computer and reprogram on occasion due to loss of connectivity. I do not know why it does this on occasion, however, it is quite a hassle. My main use is to stream media from my server to my television. Use and installation is very easy, and overall use is easy. Value is good, I just wish there was less instance of failure when transmitting data.

I have had this unit for about 1 year. I use it to transfer registration and race data between two computers when running my AWANA Grand Prix racetrack and finish-line detect system. I just purchased another unit that I'm planning to use at work. It is very easy to use... and I would strongly recommend this unit to anyone... 5 star rating!!
