Product Description:

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

Lots of setup options
I have this router installed in our basement office. I have set up a lot of equipment and normally bypass the installation disks that come with routers, but this disk was dead easy to use and had my network up and running quickly. Just make sure to shut down any firewall you may have running until you have finished the install disk. Speed and coverage are great, and I am able to watch Netflix streaming movies and our slingbox with no lag up in our bedroom on the second floor. As far as complaints with laptops dropping the connection, I went into the options on the router and gave my laptop a permanent ip address. Simply type the router's ip address into your browser's address bar. This will bring up a much more thorough interface to configure the router. The help manual on the included setup disk can give step by step instructions on how to do this for those that are not sure. Once at the web based router setup, on the first page that comes up, simply click DHCP reservation in the center of the page. You will see devices that are currently connected to your router. Simply check the box next to your laptop and choose add client. Now you have given your laptop a permanent reserved ip address. This stopped my laptop from dropping its connection. We are running an xbox 360, two laptops, two hard wired computers, one gaming adaptor, a Wii, one slingbox, and a old wireless b palm pilot with no connection drops or lag time. Highly recommend this router.

Excelent range, almost as fast as cable
This router really fulfilled my expectations, the signal is always very strong throughout my apt. I could transfer large files between two laptops having n-wireless cards at over 5MB/s. Configuration is easy and the design is beautiful.

Excellent, easy install
I bought this to replace an older Linksys wireless-G router that got hit by lightning. It was simple to set up, and works very well. Access by wireless is noticeably faster than the G version I had. I have had several brands over the years, and Linksys (a division of Cisco) always seems to work well right out of the box. The range is also better than the older G version, we consistently get 1-2 bars more than the older version on all 3 of our PC's that are connected wirelessly.

This router works great with the Linksys USB wireless card (WUSB600N) for the remote computers.

Highly recommended, and the price is right too!

Great
No problems. Difficulty with installation. Had to call Linksys. But once up and running it was excellent and has been excellent.

Super fast and easy
I would definitely recommend this wireless router.. easy to setup and super fast. The range is great too.. I clocked some record speeds with this good looking piece of tech equipment. I did have some wierd thing happen when I first set it up-- it cut out after about an hour... I reset it and it has been good to go since. Not sure what happened there. I have had it for about a month.. All in all I would actually give it about a 4.5 rating. To get a better router you would def have to spend a lot more money than what this one goes for.
