Wireless connectivity, 54 Mbps
Expand the range of your wireless network! The Linksys Wireless-G Range Expander is the easy way to increase the effective coverage of your wireless network. Unlike adding a traditional access point to your network to expand wireless coverage, the Wireless-G Range Expander does not need to be connected to the network by a data cable. Just put it within range of your main access point or wireless router, and it bounces the signals out to remote wireless devices.
Price Range: $80 - $119

Pros: Works as designed, plugs right into the wall and sits upright without bracketing
Cons: Will probably need to spend time configuring your router
The Bottom Line: It doesn't work right out of the box, but after some help from customer service, it worked exactly as designed.
Review: I recently bought a new iMac for myself and gave the old iMac to the kids. I got them a computer desk and moved the iMac into the room, except there was one major problem. There was no wireless signal in their room. Oddly enough, I could take my laptop... Read Full Review by roheblius, Dec 22, 2007

Review: I've had my Extender for about 2 years now for a notebook computer running windows XP.

Review: I had a problem figuring out what Mac address to use in the setup for unit. So I put in till I got the right one and the blue light stayed on when I saved the settings. Next, when all finished and you have the unit programmed you have to go back to... Read Full Review by gardengirl57, Sep 16, 2005

Cons: works w/ only 3 of the LinkSys routers and nothing else.
The Bottom Line: null
Review: this RE is barely at alpha. Cisco ought to use some of its router technology in the LinkSys stuff now that they own them. If not, LinkSys may turn out to be a money pit. This RE simply is not ready for release. Too many things wrong w/ it and it... Read Full Review by nabemono, Jul 25, 2005

Lives Down to my Linksys Expectations
Author's Rating:
Pros: Wireless AP repeater; doesn't require network cabling to be attached; works with WAP54G, WRTG54G, WRT54GS

The Bottom Line: Recommended if you can place it near your computer (no barriers between unit and computer).
Review: I live in a two story single family home. Nothing fancy. However, my computers have , well, sprawled. Luckily my Linksys WAP54G covers the primary areas of the home where I use my Sony VAIO laptop, Apple Mac G5 and where my wife uses her Apple... Read Full Review by blankgm, Jun 19, 2005
