Computer Networking Review

• Features
• Internet sharing Router and 4 port Gigabit Switch, with a fitted speed and range improved Wireless Access Point
• MIMO technology uses many radios per band to create robust signals for maximum range and speed, with reduced dead spots
• Much faster than Wireless G, but also works great with Wireless G and B devices
• Wireless signals are protected by industrial strength encryption, and your network is protected from Internet attacks by a powerful SPI firewall

The Wireless N Gigabit Router is really three devices in one box. 1st, there s the Wireless Access Point, which allows you to connect to the network without wires. There s also a fitted 4 port full duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired Ethernet devices together. , the Router function ties it all together and allows your whole network share a high speed cable or DSL Internet connection.

The Wireless N Gigabit Router is three devices in one package. There’s the Wireless Access Point, which allows you to connect to the network without wires. There’s also a fitted 4 port full duplex 10/100/1000 switch to connect your wired Ethernet devices together. The Router function ties it all together and allows your whole network share a high speed cable or DSL Internet connection. The Access Point built into the Router uses the new wireless networking technology, Wireless N draft 802.11n. By overlaying the signals of many radios, Wireless N’s many In, many Out MIMO technology multiplies the efficient data rate. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections much farther than standard Wireless G. Unlike other speed enhanced technologies, Wireless N can dynamically enable this double speed mode for Wireless N devices, while connecting to other wireless devices at their respective fastest speeds. In congested regions, the Good Neighbor mode assures that the Router checks for other wireless devices in the neighborhood 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 recognized Internet attacks, and supports VPN pass through. Configuration is a snap with the web browser based configuration utility. The unbelievable speed of Wireless N makes it ideal for media centric applications like streaming video, gaming, and Voice over IP telephony, and gives you lots of headroom to run many media intense data streams through the network simultaneously with no degradation in performance. With the Linksys Wireless N Gigabit Router at the center of your home or office network, you may be able to share a high speed Internet connection, files, printers, and multi player games.
