WPS54GU2 $230.00 incl GST

The Linksys Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0 lets you connect a USB or parallel printer (or both!) directly to your network, eliminating the need to dedicate a PC to print sharing chores. Using a PrintServer frees up your "print share PC" so you don't have to leave it on all the time. It also removes the printing bottleneck, and sets your PC free to do more useful work.

Connect the PrintServer directly to your network by 10/100 Ethernet cable, or wirelessly over 54Mbps Wireless-G (802.11g). The wireless option lets you put your printers wherever you want to, without having to run cables. Whichever way the PrintServer is attached to your network, both your wireless and wired PCs will have access to it, and the printers it's connected to. And if you don't use wireless for general networking in your office, you can still use the Wireless-G connection in ad-hoc mode to print from visiting Wireless-G and Wireless-B PCs.

Features and Benefits

• Share up to two printers with everyone on your network -- works with most parallel and USB (1.1 or 2.0) printers

• Connects your printers directly to the network by 10/100 wired Ethernet or 54Mbps Wireless-G (802.11g)

• No need to dedicate a PC to print server chores

• Remotely administered through your web browser, SNMP, or the included utility

The Linksys Wireless-G Internet Video Camera sends live video with sound through the Internet to a web browser anywhere in the world! This compact, self-contained unit lets you keep track of your home, your kids, your workplace -- whatever's important to you. Unlike standard "web cams" that require an attached PC, the Internet Video Camera contains its own web server, so it can connect directly to a network, either over Wireless-G (802.11g) networking, or over 10/100 Ethernet cable. The advanced MPEG-4 video compression produces a high-quality, high-framerate, up to 640x480 audio/video stream.

You can also turn on Security Mode, which tells the camera to send a message with a short video attached to up to three email addresses whenever it detects motion in its field of view. You can then log onto the live video stream if the situation warrants. The included Viewer & Recorder utility lets you record the audio/video stream to your local hard drive, "live" or on a predetermined schedule.

Features and Benefits

• Sends a high-quality live audio/video stream to your network wirelessly over 802.11g -- viewable from anywhere

• Built-in stand-alone web server, no PC necessary

WAPPOE12 $82.00 incl GST

The Linksys 12 Volt Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit lets you put your access points almost anywhere, by removing the requirement of nearby power outlets. By using the existing Category 5 Ethernet cabling to deliver power to many standard 12 volt access points and other network devices, you save the time, hassle, and expense of running AC power to the access point's installation location.

The best position for a wireless access point is usually on the ceiling, in the center of the area to be covered. Second best would be high on a nearby wall. Unfortunately, there's usually no easily accessible AC power plugs available in these locations. With the Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit, installing the access point in these preferred spots becomes far less trouble.

Features and Benefits

• Two piece kit with power insertion and remote power module

• Range up to 10 Meters over CAT5 network cable

• Allows for remote installation of Access Points without the need for power

• No software or drivers needed

HGA7T $84.00 incl GST

Increase the range of your Wireless network! Attach these high gain antennas to your Linksys Wireless Broadband Router or Access Point, and increase both the effective strength of the outgoing signals, and the receive sensitivity for incoming signals.

The added signal strength and sensitivity also improves close-range communication reliability because every packet comes through "loud and clear", reducing retransmissions due to weak signal reception errors.

Features and Benefits

• Increases the effective range of Linksys wireless devices

• Stronger signal increases wireless coverage into hard-to-reach areas and improves throughput by reducing retransmissions

• Easy installation -- simply replace your current antennas

• Works with both Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices
