Reviews of the Linksys WPC54GX4
-
CNET Review
The Good: Paired with the WRT54GX4 router, the Linksys WPC54GX4 adapter gives incredible short-range performance.
The Bad: The Linksys WPC54GX4 adapter's long-range and mixed-mode scores were unimpressive. It's also a pricey adapter and must be used with the WRT54GX4 for maximum performance.
The Bottom Line: If you plan to sit within 10 feet of your WRT54GX4 router, you'll get satisfying throughput. But if you want an adapter that's faster than standard 802.11g, opt for the Belkin Pre-N, which shows more consistent performance.
