The Linksys WRT150N Wireless-N Home Router goes against the grain of
new routers providing faster throughput, and for good reason. Linksys
designed this router for those home users who want improved range over
standard 802.11g routers, but don't want to pony up the cash for one of
the more expensive routers in the range.
Linksys Wireless-N Home Router WRT150N Start a Wireless Network With Up To 3X the Range and 9X the Speed! The Wireless-N Home Router is really three devices in one box. First,
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. Finally,
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: Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By
overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N's "Multiple In,
Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate.
Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by
signal reflections, MIMO 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 up to 3
times farther than standard Wireless-G.
With
Wireless-N, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get.
It works great with standard Wireless-G and -B equipment, but when both
ends of the wireless link are Wireless-N, the router can increase the
throughput even more by using twice as much radio band, yielding speeds
up to 9 times as fast as standard Wireless-G. But unlike other
speed-enhanced technologies, Wireless-N can dynamically enable this
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 Home 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!
