Product Description: The Linksys WRT110 RangePlus Wireless Router is really three devices in one box. There's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without wires. A built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch connects 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 smart antenna technology to achieve extended range. The Multiple In, Multiple Out (MIMO) technology 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 much farther than standard Wireless-G. With MIMO, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. The RangePlus Wireless Router can dynamically enable this double-speed mode for compatible devices, while still connecting to other wireless devices at their respective fastest speeds. 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. With the Linksys RangePlus Wireless 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 incredible speeds, without the hassle of stringing wires.

Easy Peasy
I was able to set up this product in minutes with no hassle. I like the fact that it supports WPA2 and 802.11n. I have had no connectivity issues whatsoever in my 2-story house (~1700 sf), and I've been able to use it in the backyard. It works well with my macbook pro, and I also have a windows desktop and Tivo hooked up to it, both with wired connections. When my sister comes over and brings her laptop, she can also connect up simultaneously with no problem. I was afraid that lack of external antenna would make it not work so well, but this is not the case. Rating:

A Very Good Router

Router w/ Great Range
The sleek internal antenna design and the lovely black finish gives the WRT110 style. Even so, the range boost allowed excellent connection 60 feet away with my wireless G adapter. Speed is descent. Fully compatible with my Time Warner Cable. Once this router is in your possession, I would greatly suggest you upgrade the firmware to fix any bug issues. Overall, not only does this router look nice, it gives you everything you need in a home network. Rating:

Shorter range than expected
I read very good reviews of Linksys WRT54GS and bought its update, the WRT110. I have a 802.11g wireless adapter on my laptop, so I am not taking advantage of the 802.11n router capabilities yet. So far I tested it only on the first floor of our house and I am somewhat disappointed by the quick drop in signal strength. At the opposite side of the house, about 45 feet away, the signal drops to only 2 bars out of 5 (using the Wireless Network Connection Status in Windows XP). This may be because the direct line from the router to that location passes through the laundry (washer & dryer) and possibly the fridge in the kitchen. To my dismay, the strength was still only 2 bars in a closer area (dining table), at about 18 ft. Here too, the "line of sight" would pass through the laundry. I pulled the router from the desk in the corner of the room in front of the open door. In plain sight of the router, the signal at 18 ft was now 4 bars, and remained at 4 bars as I moved to about 36 ft straight ahead, still in plain sight. I came back to the dining table at 18 ft and closed the door in front of the router - the signal is flickering between 3 and 4 bars. The door is the light plastic foam type, no metal whatsoever. I therefore cannot confirm the "strong signal at 80 - 100 ft" cited by another reviewer. I could probably remedy the situation by placing the router at a more central cable outlet location on the second floor, but this is less convenient for my phone (I am using VOIP). On the positive side, the setup was very quick and easy. One could argue that even at 2 bars the connection performs sufficiently well. Neverthless, I will probably replace this model with something stronger. |
