CNET Review
The Good: Connects Ethernet, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11a adapters; excellent speed and range; easy setup wizard; three-year warranty.
The Bad: A little pricey; no technical support for non-Windows systems.
The Bottom Line: If you need a way to connect your 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g adapters with Ethernet, the Linksys WRT55AG is the best solution to date.
