Linksys Routers

Routers allow multiple computers in the same network to use the same high-speed internet connection, and there are a number of Linksys routers that work for home and business use. The Wireless-G Router Series allows you to connect all of the computers on your network to your DSL or cable internet connection. This series comes in a number of variations, allowing for everything from basic use to offering multi-player game functionality to business capabilities.

If you simply want to connect to the Internet and share files with other computers in the network, the basic Wireless-G WRT 54 G will be sufficient. If you want to be able to play multi-player games over a wireless connection, you will need the Wireless-G with SpeedBooster. If you have limited space and need a small router, the Wireless-G Compact will do the trick.

The Wireless-G with Phone Ports is a router that allows you to access to your high-speed internet connection, file and print sharing, and VoIP phone service over the Internet. The Wireless-G Travel Router allows you to connect to the Internet, share files, share large video and photo files wirelessly, and take it on the road with its built-in antenna and power supply.

If you have a large home with lots of network stations, or need a router that can handle a business network, you will need the Wireless-G with SRX (speed and range expansion). This reduces "dead zones" and improves speed throughout the home or office. This is achieved via improved antenna and radio technology within the router. Netgear wireless routers are good points of comparison for those who are bargain shopping.
