Wireless-N Broadband Router
(WRT300N)
The Wireless-N Broadband Router 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 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 4 times farther than standard Wireless-G.

Features:
-
Internet-sharing Router and 4-port Switch, with a built in speed and
range enhanced Wireless Access Point
-
MIMO technology uses multiple radios to create a robust signal that
travels up to 4 times farther and reduces dead spots
-
Up
to 12 times faster than Wireless-G, but also works great with
Wireless-G and -B devices
-
Advanced wireless security with up to 256-bit encryption, and your
network protected from Internet attacks by a powerful SPI firewall
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 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.
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 faster than 10/100 wired network speeds,
without the hassle of stringing wires!
