Linksys Wireless-N WRT350N Overview:
Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link Start a Wireless Network With Up To 4X the Range and 12X the Speed!
The Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link 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 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 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 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 signal travels farther,
maintaining wireless connections up to 3 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 15 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 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 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 with Storage Link
at the center of your home or office network, you can easily
add storage, share a high-speed Internet connection, files,
printers and multi-player games, and run media-intensive applications
at amazing speeds, without the hassle of stringing wires!
