Start a Wireless Network With Up To 4X the Range and 12X the Speed!
- Internet-sharing Router and 4-port Switch, with a built in speed and range enhanced Wireless Access Point
- MIMO technology uses multiple radios to create a robust signal that travels up to 4 times farther and reduces dead spots
- Up to 12 times faster than Wireless-G, but also works great with Wireless-G and -B devices
- Advanced wireless security with up to 256-bit encryption, and your network protected from Internet attacks by a powerful SPI firewall
The Wireless-N Broadband Router is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless
Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without wires. There's also a built-in 4-port
full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Finally, the Router
function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.
The Access Point built into the Router uses the very latest wireless networking technology,
Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N's “Multiple In,Multiple Out” (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate. Unlike ordinary wireless
networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these
reflections to increase the range and reduce “dead spots” in the wireless coverage area. The
robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections up to 4 times farther than standard Wireless-G.
With Wireless-N, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. It works great with
standard Wireless-G and -B equipment, but when both ends of the wireless link are Wireless-N,
the router can increase the throughput even more by using twice as much radio band, yielding
speeds up to 12 times as fast as standard Wireless-G. But unlike other speed-enhanced
technologies, Wireless-N can dynamically enable this double-speed mode for Wireless-N devices,
while still connecting to other wireless devices at their respective fastest speeds. In congested
areas, the “good neighbor” mode ensures that the Router checks for other wireless devices in the
area before gobbling up the radio band.
To help protect your data and privacy, the Router can encode all wireless transmissions with
industrial-strength 256-bit encryption. It can serve as your network's DHCP Server, has a
powerful SPI firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks, and
supports VPN pass-through. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based
configuration utility.
The incredible speed of Wireless-N makes it ideal for media-centric applications like streaming
video, gaming, and Voice over IP telephony, and gives you plenty of headroom to run multiple
media-intense data streams through the network at the same time, with no degradation in
performance. With the Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router at the center of your home or office
network, you can share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers, and multi-player games,
and run media-intensive applications at faster than 10/100 wired network speeds, without the
hassle of stringing wires!
