New SRX technology:
the farther away, the
more advantage—up
to 10 times faster than
standard Wireless-G
The Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX400 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 combines smart antenna technology with
standards-based Wireless-G (802.11g) networking. By overlaying the signals of two
Wireless-G compatible radios, the “Multiple In, Multiple Out” (MIMO) technology
effectively doubles the 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 3 times farther
than standard Wireless-G.
With SRX, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get, and
SRX400 works great with standard Wireless-G and -B equipment, and other flavors of
Linksys SRX. But when both ends of the wireless link are SRX400, the router can
increase the throughput even more by using twice as much radio band, yielding
speeds up to 10 times as fast as standard Wireless-G. But unlike other speed-
enhanced technologies, SRX400 can dynamically enable this double-speed
mode for SRX400 devices, while still connecting to non-SRX400 wireless devices at
their respective fastest speeds. And SRX400 is a “good neighbor”, always checking
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 WPA 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.
With the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX400 at the center of your
home or office network, you can share a high-speed Internet connection, files,
printers, and multi-player games at faster than 10/100 wired network speeds,
without the hassle of stringing wires!
