Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router WRT160N
Mfg Part #: WRT160N

|
The Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband 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.
With Wireless-N, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. But unlike other speed-enhanced technologies, Wireless-N can dynamically enable a 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!

Strengths: Sleek look. Distance connection.
Weaknesses: Had issues with LELA
Summary: Purchased this product to replace last linksys router that quit working. Seems to work fine. LELA was a problem for about a week where it would not automatically connect to my wireless. I had to manually connect every time. Seems to be ok now, with no adjustments.

Strengths: Easy set up. Strong signal. Security settings. VPN pass-through.
Weaknesses: None to speak of.
Summary: I spent quite a bit of time reading reviews (Cnet, Consumer Reports, etc.) before settling on this router. After a month of problem free wireless internet I can say I am very pleased with my purchase. The signal is strong all through our two story house - in the front of the house and the back of the house, upstairs and down. Right now the router is upstairs, I am downstairs and I have five out of five bars. I have not had any issues to speak of. If you're thinking of purchasing a router, this is a great one to consider!
