Incorrect. One is the normal Wireless G adaptor (which I have) and the other has the Linksys Speedbooster "technology". The "S" indicates the second one is the Speedbooster varient. Most times, things like Speedbooster are really nothing more than a gimmick. I would suggest going with the regular G wireless adaptor and save the $10. To make any use of the Speedbooster you would also have to have a GS Linksys router like the WRT54GS. I doubt the adaptor is worh the extra money.
