| | | | Product Guides | | | | The Ultra RangePlus 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 much 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 far faster than 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 incredible speeds, without the hassle of stringing wires!

dolbhy1@gmail.com from Illinois
i bought this this router after comparing it to others and reading reviews from other cites, it came with in two days of shipping, was easy to set up with the computer and cable, there is a lapse time between loading that i notice, but everything is faster than before. may i suggest,if u have any problems with connectivity its better to call your internet provider than linksys, cuz they know more on connecting to the internet. i think this is a better one if u compare it to other brands and similar ones from linksys.

1 of 5 NEVER GOT IT WORKING! Thursday, April 17, 2008
brntorange from san antonio, tx
Product came in a timely fashion...never was able to get it to work. Called Linksys...they never could get it to work...they deemed the unit defective...they were suppose to send me another one...have never received it...Linksys customer service...TERRIBLE!!! You do NOT want to deal with these people...too bad, because in general, Linksys products have a reputable name. Their representatives are giving them a BAD reputation based on the lack of customer service they provide, AND they can't speak English very well, which makes the whole experience dealing with them even harder! Sooner or later, companies will wake up and understand that the sale is just one part...if they want repeat customers, they have to provide service! Was this review helpful?
