The easy way to connect your desktop or notebook to a high-speed wireless network

Connect your USB-equipped desktop or notebook computer to a wireless network at incredible speeds with the Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter. By incorporating two new, blazing fast technologies -- USB 2.0 and Wireless-G -- the Adapter delivers data rates up to 54 Mbps (5 times as fast as 802.11b), without the trouble of opening up the case of your desktop computer.

To install, simply plug the Adapter into any available USB port. (It's compatible with both USB 1.1 and 2.0 ports, but 2.0 will yield the fastest speeds.) It gets its power through the USB connection, so no power cord is necessary. The included Setup Wizard walks you through configuring the Adapter to your wireless network settings, step by step. The Wireless-G USB Network Adapter is also compatible with the Wireless-B (802.11b) network standard, with data rates up to 11 Mbps. And your wireless communications can be protected by 128-bit encryption, so your data stays secure.

The Wireless-G USB Network Adapter's high-gain antenna lets you put your computer almost anywhere in the building, without the cost and hassle of running cables. Now you don't have to drill holes in your walls and climb through the attic or cellar to get connected to the network. Once you're connected, you can keep in touch with your e-mail, access the Internet, use instant messaging to chat with friends, and share files and other resources such as printers and hard disk storage space with other computers on the network.

So don't hassle with running cables through your house -- get connected the easy way with the Wireless-G USB Network Adapter.

See a comparison diagram of the different wireless technologies.

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 of the home, wireless networking is available in hotspots at coffee shops, businesses, airports -- great when you're on the road and need to get some work done. For convenience, wireless networking is the answer.

What 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:

  • 802.11b
  • 802.11a
  • 802.11g
  • 802.11a/g

To learn about the differences between the standards and select the right one for your network, click here for an easy-to-understand chart.

1 out of 5 stars Unable to set up my router.......2007-06-26

I bought the Lynksys Router and was unable to set up my wireless network. This couldn't have been more confusing.

5 out of 5 stars good as paid.......2007-06-20

very good and great in price the range i can get signal from over 200-400m i don't know how.... i am hacking on over 4 wireless networking hehehe... very good one try it

3 out of 5 stars This model is outdated, try the newer version.......2007-06-19

This model is outdated. In my home, it gets half the range and signal strength of the newer model. Go for the new SRX400 version model WUSB54GX4. It's got better signal strength and range because of the MIMO technology. Works with all flavors of Wireless B & G including SRX200, SRX400, and standard G. Here's the link: Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with SRX400 (WUSB54GX4)

5 out of 5 stars Works Great.......2007-06-13

Picks up the signal effortlessly. I Don't even need to buy an internet service. Picks up the neighbors.

5 out of 5 stars It does its job........2007-05-20

I bought this to use for my laptop, which has a horrible internal wireless LAN adapter, and it's great!
It's incredibly light, not too big, gives me excellent signal around my house, and is a snap to install.
I didn't face any problems that other reviewers mentioned, and best of all, I got it for only 15 bucks.
Can't really go wrong with it.

    Product Description

    Linksys G Wireless Router The Linksys Wireless-G broadband router is really three devices in one box. First, it's a wireless access point, which lets you connect Wireless-G or Wireless-B devices to the network. There's also a built-in four-port full-duplex 10/100 switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices. Connect four PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. Finally, the router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G broadband router can encrypt all wireless transmissions, and it supports the industrial-strength wireless security of 802.1x authentication and authorization. The router can serve as a DHCP server, has NAT technology to protect against Internet intruders, supports VPN pass-through, and can be configured to filter internal users' access to the Internet. Configuration is a snap with the Web browser-based configuration utility.
