Product Description

The Linksys WRT54GX4 Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX400 is three wireless devices in one. The Wireless Access Point lets you connect to the network without wires; a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together; the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. The "Multiple In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology effectively doubles the data rate, increasing the range and reducing "dead spots" in the wireless coverage area up to 3 times farther than standard Wireless-G. Share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers, and multi-player games at faster than 10/100 wired network speeds, without the hassle of stringing wires!

Amazon.com Product Description

The next generation of wireless technology has arrived, with the Linksys WRT54GX4 Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX400 leading the way. Although it's technically considered a router, the Linksys WRT54GX4 is much more than that. Based on "multiple in, multiple out," or MIMO, technology that effectively doubles the data rate, this is actually three high-performance devices in one. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network, as the name suggests, without wires. <table align=right width=175 cellpadding=10> <tr> <td> <img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/grouter-1-sm.jpg" border=0 align=top>

Finally, there's the actual router that ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. With the Linksys WRT54GX4, the days of stacking boxes connected by a confusion of tangled wires are thankfully over. SRX: The Future of Wireless Networks Is Here
The Linksys WRT54GX4, like all of Linksys's SRX400 products, is based on MIMO technology, a key component in the upcoming Wireless-N standard (802.11n). By overlaying the signals of two Wireless-G compatible radios, MIMO has the capacity to double data transfer rates. In fact, the maximum wireless data transfer rates of the SRX400 actually exceed the capabilities of the traditional wired Ethernet 10/100 data ports that are in place on most computer networks. It's that fast. And by using the network's signal reflections that usually hinder performance in typical wireless products to increase range and reduce "dead spots" in the wireless network, SRX400 effectively increases the coverage area of the network by up to three times that of Wireless-G. In short, not only do you significantly increase your data transfer speed with Linksys WRT54GX4, but you can vastly increase the distance you can send our signal as well. Of course, you don't want to transmit sensitive information without making certain the network is secure. To help protect data and privacy, the Linksys WRT54GX4 can encode all wireless transmissions with industrial-strength WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) encryption. It can serve as a network DHCP server, supports VPN pass-through, and has a powerful SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall to protect against intruders and most known Internet attacks. Enabling these security features on the router is easy with the Linksys Web browser-based configuration utility. And when your computers are equipped with the Linksys WPC54GX4 Wireless-G PC Card, you will see unparalleled throughput, significantly reduced dead spots, and a dramatically increased wireless range compared to traditional Wireless-G networks. Does this mean that you'll need to convert all of your wireless equipment to SRX400? Not by a long shot. While SRX400 works optimally with other SRX400-enabled devices, it works just fine with standard Wireless-G and -B equipment. In fact, the Linksys WRT54GX4 router has a "good neighbor" policy that ensures that it is always checking for other wireless devices in the area before gobbling up the radio band. While it can dynamically enable a double-speed mode for SRX400 devices, it's designed to seamlessly operate with other 802.11 certified wireless devices at their respective fastest available speeds. And best of all, it enhances the performance of non-SRX devices by allowing them to connect at further distances than standard Wireless-G routers do. But when both ends of the wireless link are SRX400, the router can increase the throughput even more by using twice as much radio band, yielding speeds up to 10 times as fast as standard Wireless-G. The bottom line is that with the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX400 at the center of your home or office network, you can share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers, and multiplayer games at speeds faster than those of 10/100 wired networks, but without all the hassles of wires or inefficient wireless connectivity.

Linksys WRT54GX4 Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX400.......2007-06-03

It was easy to setup and install . Had it up and running in about 10 mins

Excellent product and service.......2007-06-01

I am very satisfied with the service and the product, I ever had any experience wireless and took me little longer to setup, but after this, is great, now I can have internet acess wireless on any room of my apartment, I will extend my connect to my brother's apartment with high gain antenna. I surely recommend to buy on Amazon and recommend this product. Thanks.

Easy setup, excellent bandwidth.......2007-05-31

The router is easy to setup, has loads and loads of features if you're a techie, and has excellent bandwidth and range. What more could you possibly ask for - well it ain't free that's for sure. I've setup quite a few routers in my lifetime, hardware as well as software ones, and at this price and performance, I'd very well recommend this for use in professional settings.

Its allright.......2007-05-30

Setting this up was a pain. Had to call customer service, who were very friendly in helping resolve the issue. Needed to do a few hard resets. Seems its a known issue with the SRX400. Range is definitely better than my previous Linksys, although not too sure about the strength of the signal. Overall, a good buy especially considering that the new Pre-N technology has a long way to go before being widely accepted/used.
