PRODUCT DATA
Wireless-N Gigabit Router with
Storage Link
The Wireless-N Gigabit Router is really four 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 10/100/1000 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices
together at up to gigabit speeds. The Router function ties it all together and lets your
whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.
We’ve also included a Storage Link that lets you easily add gigabytes of storage space
onto your network using readily available USB 2.0 hard drives—or plug in a USB ash
disk for a convenient way to access your portable data les. The built-in Media Server
streams music, video, and photos from the attached storage device to any UPnP
compatible media adapter. And you can get to your les from anywhere in the world
through the Internet.
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 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 128-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 and gigabit wired networking is 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 Gigabit Router at the center of your home or oce network, you can easily
add storage, share a high-speed Internet connection, les, printers and multi-player
games, and run media-intensive applications at amazing 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.
