The Linksys-Cisco WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router is three devices contained in one: a 4-point Ethernet port, a wireless access point and a router. The 4-point Ethernet connection allows you to link your wired devices in one location. Four PCs can be hooked up simultaneously, and more can be added through the use of a hub to make an even larger network. The router channels the entire linked system together, letting it share a single high-speed or DSL Internet connection. The wireless access point is compatible with both Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices.
Communication within the unified network is one of the hallmarks of the Linksys-Cisco WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router device. All computers in the network can interact with one another and are able to share files of all types. Whether it is digital music file, digital photos or documents, they can be stored on one computer in the network but be accessed by all of them. Not only is this convenient when in use, it also helps to consolidate and save hard drive space. Additionally, all computers can utilize a single printer.
Another hallmark of the device is configuration. To create a 128-bit encryption secured wireless connection, simply push a button on the router and other wireless devices. Your data and your network’s privacy are protected by both TKIP and AES. The router uses an SPI firewall to protect your PCs from outside attack and allows VPN pass through. In addition the Linksys-Cisco WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router can function as a DHCP server, ensuring proper Internet protocol. Access to the Internet can be filtered for internal users if need be, and advanced configuration is made easy with an intuitive web-based setup menu.
Create a network of four PCs or bigger that are able to share files, run multi-player games and all use the same Internet connection. The Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router allows you to build a secure home or office network for as little as $60.
