FEATURES- Wireless-N Broadband Router
Start a Wireless Network With Up To 4X the Range and 12X the Speed!
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!
