Product Description:
LINKSYS WPC54G - Wireless-G is the emerging 54 Mbps wireless networking standard that's almost five times faster than the widely deployed Wireless-B ( 802.11b ) products found in homes, businesses and public wireless hotspots around the country. The best part is, since they share the same 2.4GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices talk to existing 11 Mbps Wireless-B equipment.

Amazon.com Product Description:
Early Adopters Pick, January 2003. The first high-speed wireless networking PC card for laptops to use the 802.11g standard, which is four times faster than the current standard (802.11b) and backwards compatible.

The new Wireless-G notebook adapter (PC Card adapter) from Linksys has both the 802.11b and newer 802.11g standards built in, so you can connect your notebook to existing 802.11b infrastructure and also the new, fast Wireless-G networks. The included setup wizard walks you through configuring the adapter to your network's settings, step by step. Then just slide the adapter into your notebook's PC Card slot and enjoy network access with your notebook computer, while retaining true mobility.

Wireless-G is the 54 Mbps wireless networking standard that's almost five times faster than the widely deployed Wireless-B (802.11b) products that are found in homes, businesses, and public wireless hotspots around the country. But since they share the same 2.4 GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices also work with existing 11 Mbps Wireless-B equipment.

Once you're connected, you can keep in touch with your e-mail, access the Internet, and share files and other resources such as printers and network storage with other computers on the network, wherever you wander. At home, you can surf the Web or use instant messaging to chat with friends while sitting out on the patio.

You'll also be able to connect to any of the growing number of public wireless hotspots springing up in coffee shops, airport lounges, hotels, and convention centers. And as those hotspots upgrade to the new high-speed Wireless-G standard, you'll be ready to take advantage of the increased speeds.

Get connected to current standard 802.11b networks today, and be prepared for the future with the Wireless-G notebook adapter from Linksys.

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.

Which 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

- Notebook adapter
I had no problems installing the adapter. However I'm still having issues for the computer with the adapter to recognize the internet. It finds the wireless connections, but after that it's stuck. I still have to research a bit more to figure the whole thing out.

- Sent the wrong thing but the item itself works well
I ordered this item but got the dual band wireless adapter. Which apparently is a step above what I ordered. It works just fine and was simple to install. Regardless, they sent me the wrong thing and didn't tell me until I found out when I got it.

- Decent, does the trick
You get what you pay for. It is a decent wireless notebook adapter. Not great, but once again, you get what you pay for.

- Some installation difficulties
This product is functioning with no problems. I am running Windows XP Pro SP2 on my laptop.

I followed the suggestion i saw on the Web of using the Linksys install disk procedures, NOT the Windows installation process. This failed - with my consistently getting the Cannot Connect to Internet message even though the access point was recognized. After much reviewing of my Linksys WRTP54G wireless router configuration settings I decided that these were fine. I had previously connected ... Read More

- Couldn't make it work on WPA Wireless Network
I have an older (2003 vintage) Vaio laptop with an XP operating system that I wanted to network with my home Linksys WPA "G" wireless network. Despite extensive consultation with Linksys techs, I could not get it to link into the network. So, I sent it back. By the way, I have a newer Gateway Vista laptop that is operating on the network just fine. I'm not sure whether the problem was with the network adapter or the older laptop, so I couldn't rate the product highly. The return was not worth it ... Read More
