Product Description
LINKSYS WAP54G - Wireless-G is the emerging 54 Mbps wireless networking standard that's almost five times faster than the widely deployed Wireless-B ( 802.11b ) products found in homes, businesses and public wireless hotspots around the country. The best part is, since they share the same 2.4GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices talk to existing 11 Mbps Wireless-B equipment.

Wireless networks are rapidly becoming more popular and coming down in price. Since they don't require cables, you can use the devices anywhere in an office or home, even out on the patio. There's no need to roll out an Ethernet network cable to each room of a house; you can network anywhere--without wires. Outside the home, wireless networking is available in hotspots at coffee shops, businesses, and airports--great when you're on the road and need to get some work done. For convenience, wireless networking is the answer.
Which Wireless Standard Is Right for Me?
Now that you've decided to create a wireless network, the next step is to figure out which wireless standard to use.
Basically, a standard is a set of specifications for a device. All devices that follow a specific standard share operating characteristics, such as the radio frequency used and maximum data transfer speed.
For wireless networking, there are three standards to choose from at this time:

Works fine, but setup is a pain.......2007-12-21
I have two desktop computers connected to a Linksys WRT54G router and two wireless laptops. I have a large 1800's farm house with many room and walls. I also have steel siding that probably adds to the problem. I could connect to the network with the laptops in the front of the house but not the back, about 40-50 feet away. I have a cable running from the router to the back of the house so I got the Linksys WAP54G Wireless-G Access Point. I plugged it in, ran the installation disk and it worked -- sort of. I could connect to all of the other computers but I couldn't connect to the internet (Local only). I checked all of the settings and read many forums and nothing worked. After hours of frustration I shutdown all of the computers and the modem, router and the access point and called it a night. The next morning when I turned it on (you guessed it) it worked. Don't ask me what I did because I don't have a clue. This access point works flawlessly and now I have coverage over my entire house.
Steered wrong by Linksys.......2007-11-26
Product was purchased at the direction of Linksys to extend coverage to an existing Linksys (wrt54gx4) network in my home. Unable to achieve internet connectivity after installing and connecting to the product, Linksys reversed their claim that this product was compatible with my existing network. I returned it.
not that easy to configure, but once you are done - it works great.......2007-11-01
It is not that easy to configure (and I am technical enough) and get it working. Yet, once it works - it just works.
works great, zippy, but software can't do Windows Vista.......2007-10-23
This product is advertised as Vista-compatible. Apparently that means only that Vista machines can talk 802.11 to it. But the configuration app that comes with the access point won't install on Vista. Vista has been out for a long time so that is really disappointing. Fortunately I have an XP machine and had no trouble setting this up via XP, works great & I appreciate all the different forms of security that it supports since WEP is really weak.
I have 5 of them.......2007-10-21
I have 5 of them, some working as bridge, some as access points. No smallest problem during over a year of use. Setup is trivial.
Most likely, this equipment, as simple as it is, is too complicated for some guys giving it one star. I am giving 5 stars, only beacuse more is technically not possible.
