Additional Linksys WAP55AG Dual-Band Wireless A+G Access Point Information
|
The Linksys Dual-Band Wireless A+G Access Point gives you universal wireless connectivity. It's the best way to add wireless capability to your existing wired network, or to add bandwidth to your wireless installation.The Dual-Band Wireless A+G Access Point actually contains two separate wireless connectivity radio transceivers, which support all three popular wireless networking specifications. The first transceiver uses the 2.4GHz radio band, supporting both the widely used and inexpensive Wireless-B (802.11b) standard at 11Mbps, and the new, almost five times faster, Wireless-G (draft 802.11g) at 54Mbps. The second radio operates in the 5GHz band, and supports Wireless-A (802.11a) networking, also at 54Mbps. Since the two radios operate in different bands, they can work simultaneously, blanketing your wireless zone with high-speed bandwidth.To protect your data and privacy, the A+G Access Point can encrypt all wireless transmissions. The MAC Address filter lets you decide exactly who has access to your wireless network while Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) puts your network on the cleanest channel in your location. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility.With the Linksys Dual-Band Wireless A+G Access Point, you'll have the best of all worlds - Wireless-B for legacy compatibility, and both Wireless-G and Wireless-A for high-speed access.

What Customers Say About Linksys WAP55AG Dual-Band Wireless A+G Access Point:

Pros: Provides 802.11a in addition to 802.11g/b, wireless standards can be separately enabled/disabled, good range, nice complement to an existing Linksys cable/dsl broadband router, 802.11a (and WPA security) works great with a MacBook Pro.Cons: NoneI bought this access point to add wireless networking to my existing setup (I also own a Linksys 4-port broadband router). While I could have gotten a combined router/access point for a similar price, I did not want/need both. I also wanted 802.11a, since it is rarely used by consumers (so less chance of competition on the airwaves) and is not affected by microwave ovens and such.Well this access point works great with my MacBook Pro, utilizing 802.11a w/WPA security. Highly recommended.p.s. Plus, being a security-conscious guy, it is nice to be able to pull the plug on the access point without affecting the wired network. And finally, being separate, you can grab the access point and take it with you without unwiring the rest of your network.
This is my second one of this model, I burned up the first myself when we moved and I accidentially plugged the wrong transformer into it (too much voltage = smoke). No problems whatsoever. I found it easy to configure, set up WEP keys, MAC locked everything using the web-based interface. It worked great with our LinkSys Media extender - we watch recorded tv from our Media Center pc on our plasma screen tv three rooms away using this device. Hasn't slowed down my internet connection either. I am buying another one today to serve the mobile computer lab at work.
Should Depict 1 StarSadly, the more products I buy from post Cisco merged Linksys.the more money I lose. Made the mistake of buying this item for a customer whch has consistently started to lockup after the first month of purchase. No upgraded firmware.waste.purchase another product
a horid thing thats incompatable with anything unless you know how to change its subnet which is impossable.
I bought this to upgrade my wireless connection to my Xbox 360. The Wireless connectivity was passable (not great) but what ultimately made me return this was after multiple tests I determined that the router had cut my connection speed to a third of its original speed. I tried to trouble-shoot w/ Linksys Tech Support to no avail.
