The Linksys AP is moulded in the same style casing as many of the company's other products such as its hubs and routers, which allows the units to be stacked on top of each other. This feature is handy, particularly if you are running external antennas which the Linksys can handle. There is also a wall/ceiling mount kit included in the box with the AP.
The Linksys WPC54G PCMCIA card was 802.11g compliant. The Linksys AP configuration is also via a Web interface.
Overall the Linksys was the second worst performer after the D-Link -- in fact it was very close between the two all the way through.
When testing with the Centrino notebook both the Linksys and D-Link dropped their connections at the 40 metre mark. The generic wireless chip test saw the Linksys come in last place with six slowest consecutive data transfer speeds from the 30-metre mark right through the 55-metre mark. On this test the Linksys, Netcomm, and Belkin all terminated their links at the 60-metre point. The Linksys came in second last, above the D-Link, when tested with the 3Com 802.11g PCMCIA card, recording three slowest speeds from 35 metres through 45 metres.The Linksys also was the only unit on this test to drop the connection at the 50-metre mark.

The writer of these reviews was not aware that the word "however" is an adverb and not a conjunction. This word was used incorrectly in practically every review, e.g., "Excellent value when everything is considered, however purchasers must intend to use all its features to get good ROI."
