Product Description

Netgear WG602 802.11g Wireless Access Point - When using the Internet, you have the ability to freely roam websites with ease. However, accessing this vast network of information is still a wire-based affair. You must be at a fixed location, tethered to the wall, like a dog on a leash. Now with 802.11 wireless technology, that connection has been severed, allowing you to wirelessly access both the Internet, and other computers wherever you choose. The 802.11g standard supported in this access point, offers up to 54Mbps of transfer speed for fast file transfers and better support of streaming video & other multimedia applications. Older 802.11b equipment is also supported for increased compatibility.

Amazon.com Product Description

The Netgear WG602 Wireless Access Point simultaneously supports both IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g standard devices and networks. This dual mode capability protects your 802.11b wireless investment and, at the same time, has you ready for the up to five times faster 802.11g. Higher speeds expedite large file downloads and facilitate videoconferencing and the distribution and playing of high-quality multimedia content.

Network users can share a broadband Internet connection; access e-mail; download large files; videoconference; and distribute and play digital images, videos, and MP3 files. Easy to set up and use, Netgear's intuitive Install Assistant makes driver installation a cinch. And with up to 128-bit WEP encryption, you can rest assured that your wireless network communications are private. MAC address authentication offers enhanced security by ensuring only authorized users can access the network.

Thorough testing ensures quality and reliable operation, which Netgear backs up with a solid 3-year warranty. The WG602 is compatible with Windows 98, Me, 2000, and XP.

Works as Advertised.......2007-01-18

Works just as advertised. No problems installing or using. Thumbs up.

DO NOT BUY!!!.......2006-11-18

Died after 6 months, could not configure. Would only reset to default config which gave no security. Worthless. Support was BAD!! Never again for Netgear products!!

Good Bridge.......2006-11-11

This thing is handy as it will do a variety of things. It works as an access point but you can also put it in bridge mode which is quite handy. I got one for my dad and I have one as well so we can connect our PS2's to the internet. Works like a charm.

bridging use.........2006-06-12

I bought this product to use it as a bridging client in an existing belkin wireless network and it failed to pass any data even though it showed connected to the belkin Access point. According to the Netgear docs this access point can operate as a access point or as a bridging client but what the fail to tell you is that it bridges only in a netgear environment. After spending 20 mins on the phone with Netgear they told me i needed to buy a different model which is non netgear-proprietary or more netgear access points....

How can a company like this be selling proprietary hardware in todays day and age...

Fast & Easy Installation with included CD.......2006-03-16

Truly a fast and easy installation. Make sure you do the steps correctly (there are only like 4 of them!) and you'll be wireless in no time. It took me 5 minutes from box to install. Truly the way to go if you want to have both wired for some computers and wireless for others.
