Linksys WCG200 Overview

The Wireless-G Cable Gateway from Linksys combines the functions of a cable modem, router and a wireless access point into one compact device. The gateway allows you to share your cable internet connection between several computers that can connect via a standard 802.11b/g wireless connection or via any of 4 wired RJ-45 ethernet ports.

The gateway also features a firewall to protect you from malicious software that can attack your computer from the internet, as well as wireless security to insure that your data remains private.

The gateway can achieve speeds of 54 Mbps via a standard 802.11g wireless connection and it is also fully backward compatible with devices that use the older 11 Mbps 802.11b standard. These features make the wireless gateway a great way to add wireless access to your home network.

Integrated Modem, Access Point and Router
The gateway combines the functions of a cable modem, internet router and wireless access point, allowing you to connect multiple computers to the internet via a cable connection and also provide wireless access without having to manage several devices. This all-in-one approach makes your home network easier to setup and less cluttered.
Wired and Wireless Connections
In addition to providing wireless capabilities, the gateway has 4 standard 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 ethernet ports to allow you to connect computers and devices that do not have a wireless card installed. This gives you the ability to simply plug in your desktop computer to the router while accessing your network wirelessly via your laptop.
54 Mbps Speed
The 802.11g protocol allows for data rates of up to 54 Mbps when used with other 802.11g devices. The router is also fully backwards compatible with the older 11 Mbps 802.11b protocol and up to four devices can be connected via wired RJ-45 connections at 100 Mbps.
Firewall and Network Security
The router features a powerful firewall to help protect your computer against malicious attacks that often target computers connected to the internet. Additionally the router features network security to protect your data as it is transmitted wirelessly, ensuring that outsiders can't access your private data.
