Linksys Dual-Band Wireless A+G Broadband Router

Linksys Dual-Band Wireless A+G Broadband Router
Summary	Atheros (11a), Broadcom (b/g) dual-band tri-mode router. Does not support wireless bridging or repeating
Update	None
Pros	• Second-generation 11a performance • No WEP enabled performance degradation • Separate b/g and a radios
Cons	• Only about 9Mbps average 11g performance • Sub-par 11b performance • Non-upgradable, non-diversity antennas • Wireless repeating and bridging not supported

The WRT55AG Dual-Band Wireless A+G Broadband Router is the routing member of Linksys' Wireless A+G product line. It's the first dual-band, tri-mode (a/b/g) AP or router that I was able to get my hands on, and I found that there is work yet to be done before I'd plunk my money down for it.
