One of the standout characteristics of the WHR3-G54 is its compliance with the IEEE 802.11g wireless standard, which allows for wireless connectivity at speeds of up to 54 Mbps. This makes it suitable for activities such as browsing the internet, streaming media, and online gaming. Additionally, the router is backward compatible with older wireless standards like 802.11b, ensuring users with legacy devices can still connect without issues.

The WHR3-G54 features a built-in four-port Ethernet switch, allowing for wired connections to devices such as gaming consoles, PCs, and network printers.

The WHR3-G54 also features a built-in firewall and Network Address Translation (NAT), enhancing overall network security by preventing unauthorized access from external sources. This makes it suitable for homes with multiple connected devices, as it can manage traffic efficiently while keeping the network safe.
