We have the latest white V4 edition - watch out for other sellers offering outdated inferior versions!
Just plug one of these in to easily add 802.11g wireless connectivity to your wired network! The Netgear WG602 Wireless Access Point simultaneously supports both IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g standard devices and networks. This dual mode capability protects your 802.11b wireless investment and, at the same time, has you ready for the up to five times faster 802.11g.
Higher speeds expedite large file downloads and facilitate videoconferencing and the distribution and playing of high-quality multimedia content.
Network users can share a broadband Internet connection; access e-mail; download large files; videoconference; and distribute and play digital images, videos, and MP3 files. Easy to set up and use, Netgear's intuitive Install Assistant makes driver installation a cinch. And with up to 128-bit WEP encryption, you can rest assured that your wireless network communications are private. MAC address authentication offers enhanced security by ensuring only authorized users can access the network.
Want to bridge two wired networks together wirelessly? Pick up two and put one on each end of the two networks. They'll bridge together to make a single network. Use this same method to create wireless repeaters to extend a network across a large area. Remember - to create a bridge or repeater, you'll need to buy more than one of these. A single unit would just act as a wireless access point to add wireless to your wired network.

Wireless Access Point. Operates as a standard 802.11g access point, is backwards compatible with 802.11b, and can also connect to 802.11n products at 802.11g speed.
