Wireless-G Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports

PCs equipped with wireless cards or adapters can communicate without cumbersome cables. By sharing the same wireless settings, within their transmission radius, they form a wireless network, which is sometimes called a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). The Router bridges wireless networks of both 802.11b and 802.11g standards and wired networks, allowing them to communicate with each other.

To create your network, install and set up the Router. To guide you through the process, Linksys strongly recommends that you run the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM. If you prefer to manually set up the Router, use the instructions in the Quick Installation or this Installation and Troubleshooting Guide to help you. These instructions should be all you need to get the most out of the Wireless-G Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports.

802.11b: an IEEE wireless networking standard that specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 11Mbps and an operating frequency of 2.4GHz.

802.11g: an IEEE wireless networking standard that specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 54Mbps, an operating frequency of 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with 802.11b devices.
