Product Description
Wireless-G for your notebook with SRX technology that provides up to 8 times faster wireless network throughput, reduces dead spots, and increases wireless range by up to 3 times. Also fully compatible with all public and private Wireless-G and Wireless-B networks. The Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX combines smart antenna technology with standards-based Wireless-G (802.11g) networking. By overlaying the signals of two Wireless-G compatible radios, the “Multiple In, Multiple Out” (MIMO) technology effectively doubles the data rate. This device actually uses signal reflections to increase the range and reduce “dead spots” in the wireless coverage area. The signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections up to 3 times farther than standard Wireless-G. And the farther away you are, the more advantage you get — the higher data rate and reflection-friendly technology can yield up to 8 times more throughput than Wireless-G in some situations. Even your standard Wireless-G and -B equipment will work better when communicating with SRX-enabled devices. Once you’re connected, you can keep in touch with your e-mail, access the Internet, and share files and other resources such as printers and network storage with other computers on the network, wherever you wander. Your wireless connection is protected by up to 128-bit encryption. You’ll also be able to connect with any of the growing number of public Wireless-B (802.11b) hotspots springing up in coffee shops, airport lounges, hotels and convention centers. And as those hotspots upgrade to the high-speed Wireless-G standard, you’ll be ready to take advantage of the increased speeds.Get your notebook connected to Wireless-B, Wireless-G, and SRX wireless networks with the Wireless-G Notebook Adapter with SRX from Linksys.Also works with WRT54GX – All-in-one Internet-sharing Router and Wireless-G Access Point with SRX Speed and Range eXpansion.Amazon.com Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description Whether you’re upgrading to a higher-end adapter or setting up your first home network, the Linksys WPC54GX Wireless-G notebook adapter is your ticket to wireless convenience and optimal performance. The SRX-enhanced cardbus adapter gives you the mobility to use your laptop PC anywhere in the house–and, when used in concert with other SRX-enabled networking components, you’ll enjoy unparalleled range and speed.
The WPC54GX uses Linksys’s advanced SRX (Speed and Range eXpansion) technology, which enhances the speed and reach of a Wireless-G (802.11g) network. Relative to standard 802.11g technology, a network using all SRX products can extend network reach up to three times as far and boost wireless network speed by up to eight times. (Actual throughput, speed, and range depend on a host of factors, from building materials to network traffic and distance from your network router.)
The device is Wi-Fi-certified and backward compatible with 802.11b (Wireless-B), 802.11g (Wireless-G) and, of course, other Linksys SRX products. The minimum operating system requirement is Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Mixed wireless environments such as networks containing SRX, Wireless-B, and Wireless-G products can operate each client at its own maximum data rate. SRX products maintain their higher speed and range, providing the throughput and quality of service to deliver applications such as VoIP (Internet telephony) and video streaming.
SRX is based on MIMO (multiple-in, multiple-out) technology, a key component in the upcoming Wireless-N (802.11n) standard. To improve range and speed, MIMO uses two radios and three antennas on a wireless cardbus adapter or client adapter.
What’s in the Box
A Wireless-G cardbus adapter, a quick-installation guide, a resource CD-ROM, and a user’s manual.

Wireless networks are rapidly becoming more popular and coming down in price. Since they don’t require cables, you can use the devices anywhere in an office or home, even out on the patio. There’s no need to roll out an Ethernet network cable to each room of a house; you can network anywhere–without wires. Outside the home, wireless networking is available in hotspots at coffee shops, businesses, and airports–great when you’re on the road and need to get some work done. For convenience, wireless networking is the answer. Which Wireless Standard Is Right for Me? Basically, a standard is a set of specifications for a device. All devices that follow a specific standard share operating characteristics, such as the radio frequency used and maximum data transfer speed. For wireless networking, there are three standards to choose from at this time:
