Wanting to provide an easy-to-use,
cost-effective means of sharing two
broadband Internet connections with
your LAN (Local Area Network)
they came up with the H2WR54G:
Hi-Speed 54G Wireless Dual Wan
Router. It is a 4-Port Firewall Router
with two WAN ports. The dual WAN
ports also provide: an easy way to
utilize two different types of
broadband Internet connections on
the same network (i.e., DSL, Cable,
etc.), a method for selectively
managing traffic between Internet
connections (i.e., by port or IP
address), and a back-up method that
activates the second WAN if the first
WAN should get disconnected. It also
includes a set of powerful features,
including hardware-based firewall
protection, VPN passthrough, virtual
server, DMZ and other functions, and
combines wired and wireless
networking to give you the freedom
to connect however and wherever
you want. The HWR54G Wireless-G
Access Point is for sharing a single
broadband Internet service.
Use their HWL1: WiFi Locator
(Wireless B/G) to detect WiFi
networks with the push of a button.
Mobile users no longer have to power
up their laptops to locate wireless
network signals or “Hot Spots.”
Instead use the HWL1 to detect
whether a WiFi signal is present and
its the signal strength from your
location.

Linksys launched their next
generation of Wireless-G (802.11g)
routers and adapters with the
introduction of Wireless-G with
SRX. Speed and Range eXpansion, is
based on MIMO (Multiple In,
Multiple Out) technology, a key
component in the upcoming
Wireless-N (802.11n) standard.
MIMO uses multiple radios (2) and
antennas (3) on a wireless router or
client adapter for improved
performance in range and speed. The
Linksys SRX G Router (WRT54GX,
$199) and Wireless-G PC Card with
SRX (WPC54GX, $149) use this
technology to provide users with
faster networking speeds and a
further reach of their wireless
networking signal. With SRX there is
a improvement up to 3 times the
wireless network range when using
all Linksys SRX access points and
client adapters compared to when
using standard Wireless-G devices.
More range and coverage is obtained
because the multiple antennas
transmit and receive multiple data
streams using the same frequency at
the same time. Mixed wireless
environments such as networks
running SRX, Wireless-B and
Wireless-G products run each client
at its own maximum data rate. Users
can encode all wireless transmissions
with WPA (Wireless Protection
Access). It has a powerful Stateful
Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall to
protect all the wired and wireless PCs
against intruders and most known
Internet attacks while also supporting
VPN pass through.
