The Bottom Line The WPC54G is a great value and a good way for families or businesses on a budget to add 802.11g to a laptop. The WPC54GS offers a decent bang for the buck and is an excellent choice if you plan to use it with other Linksys SpeedBooster products. The WG511T is a good choice for speed demons and those looking for a long-range PC Card adapter. As versatile as it is inexpensive, the Linksys WPC55AG is an excellent choice for those commuting between 802.11a and 802.11b/g networks. 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.
