The Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router means high performance for both wireless and wired devices. Your wireless connections are radio band selectable to avoid interference in your area, and the four built-in Gigabit ports supply high-speed connections to your wired devices.

The Power of N
Connect everybody in your home at once without wires. Dual Wireless-N radio bands let you choose the one with the least interference in your area. Either one delivers high performance for smooth streaming video, high frame-rate gaming, fast data transfers, and heavy Internet use from multiple users-- all with great range and reduced dead spots. It also connects to your existing Wireless-G, -B, or -A devices.

Connect Faster
Access more over your network. Connect Gigabit-enabled networked storage drives, computers, printers, and other devices to the four Gigabit Ethernet ports and enjoy higher speeds than provided by routers with Fast Ethernet wired ports.

Reliable Coverage
Experience coverage you can count on, all around your home. Wireless-N’s Multiple in, Multiple Out MIMO technology actually uses the signal reflections that confuse ordinary wireless technologies to boost range and reduce dead spots.

Advanced Security
Advanced wireless security and SPI firewall protection is designed to help safeguard your home network and computers from most Internet attacks. Includes a 30-day free trial of Home Network Defender, designed to help protect you and your family against cybercriminals and online predators by stopping threats before they get into your home network.

A nice way to upgrade your home

"Even though the Staples guy recommended I go through Tech Support, set up was very easy. Just follow the directions on the package and do as the CD advises.

Highly overated easy to lose connection

"The only great aspect of this router so far is its ease to set up. I just replaced a failing Netgear N + router after 4 + years. The Linksys, seem to get disconnected very easy with just faint interference. When this happens even wired connections get interrupted. Not Good at all. Cisco should have made their own product instead of buying some brand and slapping their label on it. It is just not worth the price ..." Read Full Review »
