With its ability to connect Ethernet and three different flavors of 802.11 clients, the Linksys WRT55AG dual-band Wireless A+G broadband router is a jack-of-all-networking-trades. By combining a four-port Ethernet switch, an 802.11a access point, and an 802.11g access point, the WRT55AG provides more wireless options than ever for those assembling a home- or small-office LAN. The Linksys WRT55AG is also easy to set up and includes a handsome security package, making it a safe and accessible product that's well suited for networking newbies and LAN gurus alike.It's easier to set up the WRT55AG than it would be to configure an Ethernet router and three separate access points, and it takes up less space as well. Just run the included CD's Setup Wizard on a connected system, and the software walks you through the process, prompting you to select your type of Internet connection, your network name, and the wireless channels you want to use. It takes only a few minutes to set up the WRT55AG to broadcast your broadband Internet connection throughout your home.
