Whether you're upgrading to a higher-end adapter or setting up your first home network, the Linksys WPC54GX Wireless-G notebook adapter is your ticket to wireless convenience and optimal performance. The SRX-enhanced cardbus adapter gives you the mobility to use your laptop PC anywhere in the house--and, when used in concert with other SRX-enabled networking components, you'll enjoy unparalleled range and speed.
The WPC54GX uses Linksys's advanced SRX (Speed and Range eXpansion) technology, which enhances the speed and reach of a Wireless-G (802.11g) network. Relative to standard 802.11g technology, a network using all SRX products can extend network reach up to three times as far and boost wireless network speed by up to eight times. (Actual throughput, speed, and range depend on a host of factors, from building materials to network traffic and distance from your network router.)
The device is Wi-Fi-certified and backward compatible with 802.11b (Wireless-B), 802.11g (Wireless-G) and, of course, other Linksys SRX products. The minimum operating system requirement is Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Mixed wireless environments such as networks containing SRX, Wireless-B, and Wireless-G products can operate each client at its own maximum data rate. SRX products maintain their higher speed and range, providing the throughput and quality of service to deliver applications such as VoIP (Internet telephony) and video streaming.
SRX is based on MIMO (multiple-in, multiple-out) technology, a key component in the upcoming Wireless-N (802.11n) standard. To improve range and speed, MIMO uses two radios and three antennas on a wireless cardbus adapter or client adapter.
What's in the Box
A Wireless-G cardbus adapter, a quick-installation guide, a resource CD-ROM, and a user's manual.
| 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 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. 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.

Product Description:
Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter with SRX - Linksys has developed new technology that will greatly enhance your wireless networking experience. It's called SRX, or Speed and Range eXpansion. With an optional SRX router you can achieve up to 3 times the range of standard 802.11g, and up to 8 times the speed of standard 802.11g. Using two Wireless-G compatible radios, it overlays the signals to increase the data rate, and uses the signal reflections to increase range. Even your standard Wireless-G and -B equipment will work better when used with SRX devices!

Customer Reviews:
Excellent Speeds and Distance!!.......2007-04-05
Great Wireless adapter........2007-04-04
Wireless-g notebook adapter.......2007-03-27
a problem for the last month.
Linksys just doesn't work - support is abysmal.......2006-12-30
The adapter install took out my TCPIP stack, even for my WIRED connection. It took me 3 full days to figure out that I needed to remove any sign of Linksys, Odyssey, and Funk Software from the registry, then remove and reinstall the TCPIP stack. Linksys support couldn't even get me a promised registry cleaner after 28 days, a dozen emails, and 5 separate phone calls.
Linksys support is just embarrassing. Don't be caught having to depend on it.
Poor product, terrible support.......2006-08-03
I had to call them. They said they would send me a registry cleaner via email. It never arrived, even though they made repeated promises. I had to make numerous calls and wait in long line to get connected.
I also had bad experiences with a Linksys router. I will never buy a linksys product.
Update: I called them again and again. Finally I was told there was in fact no such cleaner for this model!
