Linksys WRT160N review
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 much 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 far faster than 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 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 incredible speeds, without the hassle of
stringing wires!
