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

3 out of 5 stars Just getting started   October 12, 2008
CPop (La Grange, KY United States)
I just purchased the Linksys WRT160N Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router, so I can't give a review as far as long term performance but I can offer comments about the set-up - FAST and EASY. I connected one wired and two wireless computers in less time than it takes to boot up the three computers. One of the wireless computers is in the basement and other is a laptop that my son is using two rooms away from the router - and so far so good. Everything is up and running at speed.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent product-highly recommended-works flawlessly!   October 10, 2008
:::DIGITAL BABE::: (East Coast)
I recently purchased this to set up an N router/adapter combo (instead of the Netgear G setup we had), on 1 Desktop and 2 Laptops in our home. This was very easy to install, and the signal strength/speed has increased significantly (we are in a 1st floor apt, and had trouble getting adequate signals through the walls of an 1860 sq foot apt). Excellent product-highly recommended!


1 out of 5 stars Looks nice, hangs over and over, Linksys/Cisco tech support a laugh   October 9, 2008
J. S. Bayer (Naperville, IL)
I thought this was going to be a quality product. It looks nice and is packaged well. I read reviews that said it was great so I bought it. I had it 3 days and it started to hang every day. Today I called Linksys/Cisco tech support, and that was a journey to be sure. I know I selected English as the language I prefer yet the tech on the other end could not grasp what I was saying. When I explained that the router was hanging, the nice, obviously clueless lady on the phone told me to just power cycle it when it hangs. The explanation was that there is nothing wrong with it if it can connect. I admittedly became a little heated and was dumped from the call with a case number and an offer to call back if I still had trouble.

Long and short the hardware might be just fine but the firmware is total garbage. I'm returning this thing.




1 out of 5 stars worst router ever......and most expensive   October 7, 2008
CompuTable
I thought dropping 75 on a router meant that at least I was getting the latest and greatest. It contantly drops connection and when I try to log back on it cant connect to the network. I reset it many times to try to fix it but no luck. I am resorting to hard wire connection cause wireless is like 56k. Don't buy this router it's a waste of money. I was better of with my older wireless G router.
