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

What, me wireless? - before two months were up, the wireless part gave out. My IT guy was very surprised by that, and so am I. Of course, murphy s law dictated that it had to give out when I was trying to connect and apply for a fabulous job opportunity .. which I missed the deadline for, in small part because THIS DAMN THING DOESN T WORK! (It does still work with a cable, but of course I didn t have one handy at the time -- why would I, I have a wireless router! sigh).

beware apple owners - works fine, but i have 2 apples. the macs, not the fruit. could not get it to work with the installation disc. very annoying. finally called support, very nice lady in india? lotsa laughing and talking in background.she told me the disc didn t work at all on apple, though i had been able to start the process.anyway, she got it up and running with not too much trouble. took a while though.would have been nice for cisco/linksys to WARN APPLE OWNERS before we waste our time trying to figure things out.!!

Great! Except for the setup software - When I got it out of the box and followed installation instructions, running the included setup software on the CD, the software program told me Configuration Failed. I repeated this several times, always getting Setup is unable to configure your network. I was just about to give up and return the router, when my son noticed a strong signal on his PDA. In fact, the router was already working fine! We then set up our home network with no problem at all. Signals are strong, connections are fast, even from 2 floors away. Not sure what went wrong with the setup program, but don t be too quick to believe what it tells you, check your connection yourself.

Happy in Abbottstown PA - I had been wanting to go wireless for quite a while but was nervous about spending money on something I couldn t get to work. I took the plunge and it works great! The instructions were concise, short and accurate. I got it to work on the first try!! I can now use our laptop anywhere in the house. I can also bring my laptop from work and hook right up. I m very happy being wireless and with teh Linksys WRT160N.

My first wireless set up - Nice router. Great set up wizard, simple, however it widn t work for me (this was my first time to set up a wireless Network). Contacted Cisco support and spent an hour talking with a lady I couldn t understand (to much accent). She gave up and quit. I went to Cisco again and downloaded different instructions and it worked great. Good reception anywhere in the house for the laptop. Xbox 360 wireless works great even on Call of Duty World at War on line.
