PRODUCT DATA
Wireless-N Home Router
The Wireless-N Home 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 eective
data rate. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by
signal reections, MIMO actually uses these reections to increase the range and
reduce“dead spots” in the wireless coverage area. The robust signal travels farther,
maintaining wireless connections up to 3 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 9 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 rewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most
known Internet attacks, and supports VPN pass-through. Conguration is a snap with
the web browser-based conguration 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 Home
Router at the center of your home or oce network, you can share a high-speed
Internet connection, les, printers, and multi-player games, and run media-intensive
applications at incredible speeds, without the hassle of stringing wires!

PRODUCT DATA
The maximum performance for wireless is derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specications. Actual performance can vary, including lower wireless
network capacity, data throughput rate, range and coverage. Performance depends on many factors, conditions and variables, including distance
from the access point, volume of network trac, building materials and construction, operating system used, mix of wireless products used,
interference and other adverse conditions.
