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

2 out of 5 stars What, me wireless?   January 8, 2009
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).


4 out of 5 stars beware apple owners   January 8, 2009
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.!!



5 out of 5 stars easy to set up   January 7, 2009
This was the first time I used a wireless router, and it was simple to follow


5 out of 5 stars Great Option for Anyone....   January 7, 2009
A friend suggested that this router would be what I needed to go wireless. I knew, and still don't know, much at all about setting up a wireless network at home. Well, with this product, you don't need to.

I've purchased a ton of gadgets and gizmos over the years. But none, NONE, have ever been this user friendly and easy to set up. I imagined hassles and additional purchases in my way of using my laptop wirelessly.... but this product made it super-simple even for a non-techie like me!

I would recommend this product to anyone that needs to set up a wireless-N signal in their house or small business.

Highly recommend!!



4 out of 5 stars works great   January 7, 2009
i have both a pc and mac. i also live in a house made of concrete block (including the interior walls). the signal of this wireless router works great throughout my house. i have cable internet. i've had no problems streaming movies. in fact, i believe that i'm actually getting a faster data stream with the wireless than i had being hooked up to the internet via the wire/cable.

i'm a newbie when it comes to this type of thing. so, it took me a couple of days to get it set up right. that was a little frustrating. it wasn't quite as easy as the installation instructions/disc led me to believe. however, the tech support on their website was very helpful. it answered my questions and got me up and working with both my computers.
