Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router Fixes
If you are looking for a router that outperforms everything else available in the market then go for Linksys WRT54GX4 Wireless-G Broadband Router (SRX400) is one product I highly recommend. The first reason being that Linksys, as we all know is a company that has a reputation for quality and they have managed to keep up their standards. The box will read that this is a router but what you really get is a more complete, three-in-one product that uses the latest MIMO (multiple in, multiple out) technology and consists of the following:
Wireless Access Point:
This is a point that allows you to connect to a wireless network and you can use it to access the internet without any wires. The device can be configured to 802.11g at 54Mbps that is the Wireless G router standard, 802.11b at 11Mbps which is Wireless B with the router's configuration set up process which you can reconfigure at your convenience anytime.
4 Port 10/100 Network Switch:
Using this you can forego network adapters and connect up to 4 computers and access the internet by using 4 RJ45 connectors that are on the back of the router. So you can easily connect all your wired Ethernet devices together. Router:
This is responsible for the actual sharing broadband connection to grant Internet access to all the devices connected to it shared internet access. Of course the set-up CD, power adapter, an Ethernet network cable and the registration card are also included in the same box. The casing of the whole system is made of extremely light but sturdy plastic and it has two antennae that can be swiveled and directed in any direction to get the best reception. The dimensions of the unit are 7.32" W X 1.89" H X 7.87" D and it weighs just 17oz. You can choose between the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and WPA (Industrial strength WiFi Protected Access) to increase your security and it has a built-in hardware firewall that helps to keep prying eyes and deadly viruses out. The whole process just takes a few minutes if you can read all the instructions carefully. It took me a while longer because I couldn't figure it out but eventually got it done with the fantastic tech support that Linksys offers. The MIMO technology is what gives a very high data rate and you will get an increased range much more than the standard Wireless G and no dead spots. The only thing is that the whole configuration process though is web based so you need to have internet access when you install so the set up process can work. According to Linksys, this makes things easier but all the same you need to be aware of this before you go out and buy this or you will be running out in no time to buy an Ethernet cable to attach the modem to the router in case you are already using the USB port. Apart from this little glitch I have had this up and running for three weeks without any issue and I am very satisfied and enjoying a very stable high-speed connection without having to entangle myself in a hundred wires.
