Linksys WRT310N Wireless N Gigabit Router
When it comes to unparalleled network flexibility and security, nothing quite compares to the Linksys WRT310N Wireless N Gigabit Router. After all, this single kit is a combination of three devices dedicated to giving you a quality connection for all your PCs. A Wireless Access Point enables your units to go online without the need for cumbersome cables, while a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100/1000 Switch enables your PCs to enjoy even faster connection using direct cable links. The Router function then melds both connectivity options together, enabling them to enjoy a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.
Enjoy cable-free connectivity with the Linksys WRT310N Wireless N Gigabit Router's utilization of Wireless-N (draft 802.11n) technology. Ordinary wireless networking technologies relyiong on standard Wireless-G tech are often confused by signal reflections from multiple radios, resulting in decreased range and deadspots within their coverage area. Wireless-N's "Multiple In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) tech on the other hand, actually uses these multiple radio signals to boost its own range and to eliminate its deadzones.
Get the cutting edge in connectivity with Wireless-N. While it's fully compatible with Wireless-G and -B, you can expect more than double your typical transmission speeds if you've got a wireless-N-compatible device connected to the router. What's more, Wireless-N enables this speed boost features for Wireless-N devices even while enabling other devices to run at their fastest speeds.
Accessibility doesn't mean having to sacrifice security. The WRT310N boasts industrial-strength 256-bit encryption to encode all your wireless transmissions, making this device an ideal DHCP Server for your local network. Let you PCs enjoy superior protection with the router's included SPI firewall, a powerful defensive measure proof against most internet attacks even while supports VPN pass-through. A web browser-based configuration utility enables you to tweak all your settings in one effortless stroke.
Whether you're planning to join an online match, stream your favorite videos, or converse via VoIP, the Wireless-N is what you'll need to get it done. It's the sort of connectivity that you can count on to give you all the bandwidth your network will need at any given time, regardless of the number of media-intense data streams that are running through your network. Forget 10/100 wired network speeds - the Linksys Wireless-N Gigabit Router enables you to enjoy high-speed Internet access, equally fast connections to your files, printers, and multi-player games, all in one simple yet comprehensive package!

Bought this router because I am having a new laptop built with wireless N installed. Have not received the laptop yet so I haven't tested the wireless setup or speed. Installation was easy once I stopped using the included CD and just did it manually using 192.168.1.1. Since then it has worked great and the built in Gbit router is nice for my home network also.
Good unit;

The unit will work well for what it does UNLESS you're not in a temp-controlled room. The router has serious overheating issues if the room it's in ever goes above 80 degrees Farenheit - and one of the first things to burn out on it is the wireless transceiver. Other than that, the unit's decent. It's problems were corrected in the 320N.
Great Product!!

Although the previous Linksys unit's i've had have been riddled with problems, this unit actually works quite well. Good thing, their tech support has always been a joke. Set up easy, after all the other Linksys units I am very familiar with the configuration process...finally quick and easy! Ok, real numbers...from my laptop a confirmed 441.7 kbps tunneled via PPTP VPN from my DSL ISP located in Germany to my server in CA. Not bad. I can stream Netflix through wireless. Everything setup and worked perfectly! I would caution, if it doesn't work out of the box...take it back immediately. I may just have gotten a ''good one''.
Awesome Router

I have always loved Linksys products and this is another one. The router firmware does have issues with dropping the connections but if you flash it with DD-WRT it runs amazing with no dropped connections.
