Product Description:
The Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router is really three devices in one package. 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. 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. By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N's Multiple In, Multiple Out (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections much farther than standard Wireless-G. Wireless-N can dynamically enable 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 incredi

- First Wireless N experience
It was very easy to switch out routers.Pretty much unplug the Wireless GI had ,plug in the new one and it configured itself with a few tweeks.
so far so good..A+++

- surprisingly good
I bought this somewhat cautiously, but someone had recommended it and the price was right.I was concerned about the reports of heat generation in a few reader's reviews.So, when I got it I built an inverted u-shaped platform, about 6" hi and 8" wide, and I put a large hole in the center--to increase the air flow.It now appears that it wasn't necessary, as the unit was only very slightly warm to the touch and never grew hot.At one point during the election, we had up to (8) laptops running ...

Rating: - Great Router!
This is a great router, i think the rest of the reviews cover pretty much everything there is to say about it, the only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because in my case the remote reboot option is very important, an Linksys does not include this option in the firmware. Other than that it works great, I have great signal everywhere in my house, an even in my neighbor's house :p. Configuration is pretty easy too.

- Do NOT install their crapware!
I bought this as a replacement for my very old, but still working D-Link a router, hoping for better range and throughput on my DSL line. I suppose the Linksys N router does what it is supposed to be, and the firmware settings site is fine. I've configure some before and it's really no big deal going through the tabs the router puts up on it's internal mini-config site.
Then the horror story happened. By mistake I clicked on a link on the included CD that installs this "LELA" configuration ... Read More
Rating: - its good, but it is not that very good.
i bought this product and i have been using it for a month. i find it fast and it gives a good range. but it is not the range thati was expecting. my roomate also said that it disconnects every 30 mins to every hour. i never experince a disconnection on it.
its of course better than the D-Link that i had b4. that one just keeps disconnecting eveytime, for several minutes and than it goes back for about 30min to 2 hrs. and then it does several disconnections. it just messed up my work.
so i find ... Read More
