While many high speed router systems may not be 802.1 compliant, the WRT54GS router is. Like the WRT54GR, is also acts as a "good neighbor" and will detect other wireless systems which are nearby. All tranmissions are protected by WPA encryption, and with this feature the router is comparable to other Wireless-G routers. This router will work with the WPC54GS, WMP54GS, and WGA54G models. If you have a laptop, desktop, or video game console which are Ethernet equipped, they can also be connected.

As the price of wireless routers continues to drop, they are becoming more popular. Since there is no need to worry about cables, this router can be placed anywhere in your office or home. This router also offers VPN, and will allow you to easily share your internet connection, whether it is DSL or cable. With the SpeedBooster add on feature, you can expect your network to run with a high level of efficiency and security. In many respects, it has many of the features you can find in other models such as the WRT54GL. The only thing which really separates it from these routers is SpeedBooster.
