Editorial/Description:

Product Description: The Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router is really three devices in one package. 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. 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. By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N's Multiple In, Multiple Out (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections much farther than standard Wireless-G. Wireless-N can dynamically enable 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 incredi


Customer Reviews:

Great product   December 2, 2008
This router works very well, I have both Windows Vista and XP computers and an XP laptop and a printer all connected to it. The laptop is wireless connection. It was easy to install, but had trouble getting my settings correct. I called Linksys and they walked me through the settings. They were very patient and had me up and running in short time. Very fast speed and I am extremely satisfied. Highly reccomend this product.


So far so Good...   December 1, 2008
This has been a very good router so far (5 weeks). The setup was a breeze, connection times are quick and I have not yet had a dropped connection or needed to reboot. The downside is that the range is less than stellar. I have a relatively small home, and the signal strength drops off fairly quickly as you move away from the router. (I.e. if you have a larger home, you may want to consider a different router.)


First Wireless N experience   November 29, 2008
It was very easy to switch out routers. Pretty much unplug the Wireless G I had ,plug in the new one and it configured itself with a few tweeks.
so far so good.. A+++


surprisingly good (1 of 1 Found this Helpful)   November 29, 2008
I bought this somewhat cautiously, but someone had recommended it and the price was right. I was concerned about the reports of heat generation in a few reader's reviews. So, when I got it I built an inverted u-shaped platform, about 6" hi and 8" wide, and I put a large hole in the center--to increase the air flow. It now appears that it wasn't necessary, as the unit was only very slightly warm to the touch and never grew hot. At one point during the election, we had up to (8) laptops running off of it (I have a cable modem ahead of the router). We dropped a connection only once or twice over a period of several days. I have disconnected my ethernet and use the wireless link from my new laptop. The setup was very easy: I replaced a Linksys BEFSX41 ethernet router with this, but I had to power down the modem and re-power it up to finish the install. My friend suggested that I set it up for the 26 digit security code, and that was seamless. I do use two of the ethernet connections for the desktops I have. As of this writing, it's been installed for a month, and I am quite satisfied.


Great Router! (1 of 1 Found this Helpful)   November 28, 2008
This is a great router, i think the rest of the reviews cover pretty much everything there is to say about it, the only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because in my case the remote reboot option is very important, an Linksys does not include this option in the firmware. Other than that it works great, I have great signal everywhere in my house, an even in my neighbor's house :p. Configuration is pretty easy too.
