Wish you could double the speed of your wireless router?
Although it’s technically considered a router, the Linksys WRT54GX4 is much more than that. The Linksys WRT54GX4 Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX400 is really three devices in one small box.
- First, there’s the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network, as the name suggests, without wires.
- Then there’s the built-in four-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired Ethernet devices together.
- Finally, there’s the actual router that ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.
One of the features that makes this router so powerful is MIMO, “multiple in, multiple out.” MIMO technology doubles the data rate that this router can transfer by overlaying the signals of two Wireless-G compatible radios. If you take a close look at this router, you will see multiple atenntas along the top. Using this router is like having 2 routers
