Linksys Wireless-G - Easy to use install

Advantages: Easy to use, fast, easy to install
Disadvantages: May be prone to damage

The Wireles-G USB Adapter is an excellent product, and does exactly what it was designed for with the minimum of fuss or complexity. On first look, you'd say it looks rather like a slightly chunky flash drive, but it's way more effective than that. It can be used to connect a PC or laptop to a local network, directly to another computer or, probably most commonly, to a wireless router for broadband internet access. It is connected, as you'd expect ...
...your view, the fact it's external to the computer can be viewed as a plus or a negative. On the plus side, it's handy if you're using for more than one computer, however on the negative side, I expect there's a much greater chance of damage due to dropping, spillages etc. The connection is capable of incredibly fast connection speeds (certainly as fast as my broadband can supply), and I have personally had no complaints so far in terms of reliability. ...

The WAP is dead, long live the WAP

Advantages: Fast, easy to configure, reasonable price for a Wireless Access Point
Disadvantages: slight snag in set up. Easily resolved

My dearly beloved Linksys WAP11b passed on this week. At the request of the family there were no flowers but a small celebration was held to remember a long and hard working life and the opportunity to get a new one. Including VAT and delivery, for £48.15 , Novatech.co.uk sent me one of these little charmers. Let me explain my home setup: The ADSL line starts at my phone line and passes through a Linksys ADSL ethernet ...
...the FAQ section of the Linksys website (Now you see why I like to have all the units separate) and I found the cause. They mention that some cordless phones use the same 2.4 Ghz radio frequency as the WAP and to try changing the channel. They also mentioned that the default was 6, so back into the setup utility and change it from 11 to 6, where it should have been in the first place. as soon as I did this and closed the setup program, my wireless ...

Linksys WPC54G Notebook Adapter Review

Advantages: Easy to install, use and configure.
Disadvantages: Gets hot after a while of constant use.

...my laptop and bought my Linksys WRT54G Wireless Broadband Router, I needed to add wireless functionality to my laptop - that unfortunately wasn't powered by the Intel Centrino technology that has now been introduced. Seeing as I bought a Linksys router, I went ahead and bought a Linksys wireless adapter as well. The Packaging - The product is neatly packaged and very well protected in an anti-static pouch and is snuggled in it's plastic tray. All ...
...Windows Update, only through the Linksys website. The Product - Where the product protrudes from the laptop, it has 2 LEDs that show when it's powered on and when it's transferring data. This can be handy to check when the network is actually working, but I've found that in certain lights, the LEDs don't seem to be bright enough and therefore fail to complete their function. Also on this black protrudance is the Linksys logo. I've found that this ...
