Dual-Band Wireless-N
Gigabit Router with Storage Link

The Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router is really four devices in one box. First, there’s
the dual-band 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 flash
disk for a convenient way to access your portable data files. 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 files from anywhere in the world
through the Internet.

The Access Point built into the Router uses a dual-band version of the very latest
wireless networking technology, Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By overlaying the signals
of multiple radios for each band, 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 signals travel 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, -A, 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.

Since the Router can operate in both the 2.4 and 5 gigahertz radio bands at the same
time, it effectively doubles your available wireless bandwidth. For instance, you could
set up your network to handle video streaming on one radio band, and use the other
band for simultaneous data transfers -- avoiding any interference or collisions that
would degrade the video performance.

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 and gigabit wired networking is ideal for media­centric 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 Storage Link Router at the center of your home or office network, you can
easily add storage, share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers and multi­player games, and run media-intensive applications at amazing speeds, without the
hassle of stringing wires!

The maximum performance for wireless is derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. 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 traffic, building materials and construction, operating system used, mix of wireless products used,
interference and other adverse conditions.
