Linksys WET54G v3 Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge Single-component wireless ethernet bridge

On your marks. Get set. Go wireless!

In today's world of home electronics, there are a couple of seemingly contradictory trends. First, an ever-increasing number of devices&ensp— from printers and laptops to digital cameras and game consoles — is being outfitted with ethernet LAN connections for fast, easy access to your computer or to the internet. Second, "wireless capability" is all the rage, offering greater freedom and mobility. Hmm, more wired connections and more wireless capability . . . seems an odd pairing, doesn't it? If only there were a device that could bridge these seemingly contradictory trends. The WET54G Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge from Linksys does just that. This compact device connects to any ethernet-enabled device, instantly making it a part of your wireless network. That new printer you just bought? Don't worry about running an ethernet cable clear across the office from your computer. Simply connect the WET54G to the printer and have instant access to your computer's pre-existing wireless network.

Two words: Versatility and ease

Following two other trends in modern electronics, the WET54G is specifically designed to be versatile enough to work with almost any ethernet-enabled device and to be simple enough to setup and operate without any headaches. As far as versatility goes, the WET54G is compatible with a wide range of ethernet standards and protocols, and because it has no drivers, it works with Windows®, Macintosh®, Linux®, PlayStation®2, Xbox™ — virtually any device with an ethernet connection. Further, an included Setup CD-ROM and Quick Installation guide make integrating this wireless ethernet bridge into your home network as easy as following a few simple steps.
