Linksys unveiled its new line of networking products for small enterprises. The Wireless-N series includes an access point, a security router with a VPN, and a CardBus adapter for laptops. It uses the 802.11n wireless draft specification, which promises longer ranges and higher throughput. Linksys is selling the Wireless-N access point and laptop adapter for $169 and $129, respectively, and will offer the wireless router, which will be available next month, for $229. The router carries security features like an intrusion-prevention system, client authentication, and stronger encryption to protect confidential company data during transport.

Hardware hackers have reclaimed the WRT54G v5 from Linksys. The version 5 of the ubiquitous wireless router swtiched from a linux based OS to a Vxworks proprietary system. The hackers have figured out a way to replace the bootloader with a linux friendly one and load linux onto them. The reduced memory of the version 5 routers means that space is cramped and only micro versions of the linux firmware can be added, it’s quite the achievment for a community who were not happy with the change to Vxworks, even though Linksys released the WRT54GL which still runs linux, but is more expensive.
