The Bottom Line The WLA-G54 is a good performer with solid features and security, and it's the easiest way to expand a wireless network. But its full feature set works only with other Buffalo products. This wireless bridge does a competent job at connecting Ethernet devices to a wireless network or extending a WLAN's range, but its price is high. The Buffalo WLA-G54C is the best wireless repeater we've seen to date, and it's a great building block for an expandable network. The Buffalo WLA-G54C is the best wireless repeater we've seen to date, and it's a great building block for an expandable network. The ME101 is inexpensive, but a bridge with WPA security or 802.11g speed would be a better buy.
