Description

The Wireless-N Access Point with Dual-Band adds wireless capability to your existing wired network, or upgrades older wireless networks to Wireless-N performance. The perfect partner to the Wireless-N Ethernet Bridge (WET610N), it's optimized to reduce video glitches.

Features

Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point

- The Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point is designed to add wireless capability to your existing wired network, or upgrade older wireless networks to Wireless-N performance.  Use the 2.4GHz band to connect to many classic wireless devices, or use the less-crowded 5GHz band to avoid interference and reduce glitches when gaming or streaming video.

- As your family gets more technologically savvy and your network traffic gets more media-centric, the Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point upgrades your existing wired-only or Wireless-G network to today's most advanced wireless standard.  Wireless-N can deliver the bandwidth you need for smoother gaming, streaming video, VoIP telephony, and websurfing.  And you're up and running in no time with the Windows and Mac compatible Setup Wizard.
Fast and Far

Wireless Speed and Range
The Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point uses the very latest wireless networking technology, Wireless-N.  By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N's "Multiple In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate.

    - Works in either the 2.4 or 5 gigahertz radio bands
            - Use the 2.4GHz band to connect to many classic wireless devices like game consoles, older notebooks, DVRs, media players, etc.
            - Or use the less-crowded 5GHz band to help avoid interference with 2.4GHz networks or noisy devices like cordless phones and microwave ovens
            - Both bands use Wireless-N technology for more robust speed and range, and more complete coverage throughout your home
    - Optimized for streaming HD video
            - Advanced Digital Signal Processor helps reduce video glitches
            - Special algorithms (Low Density Parity Check and Maximum Likelihood Equalizer) for higher throughput for a given range
    - The perfect partner to the Wireless-N Ethernet Bridge (WET610N) for wireless video streaming
    - Also connects to Wireless-G, -B, or -A devices
    - Double Channel Width mode doubles the throughput
    - Specially designed internal antennas provide great range in an attractive, sleek case that looks good in any room

On-time delivery with QoS
To deliver your time-sensitive traffic efficiently, the Access Point features Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities.  QoS tells your network to give priority to packets in time-sensitive streams like Voice (VoIP) or media (audio or video), so that these types of applications can deliver less garbled conversations and smoother digital video.  The Access Point supports Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM) for automatic prioritization of traffic into four service levels.
Safe and Sound

Wireless Security
To help protect your data and privacy, the Router can encrypt all wireless transmissions with the latest industrial-strength 128-bit encryption.
    - Choose the wireless security of WEP, WPA and WPA2 Personal, or WPA and WPA2 Enterprise (RADIUS)
    - Prevent or permit specific wireless devices from accessing the network by listing their MAC address
    - Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ support
           - Just push the button on the Access Point and on your other Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ enabled wireless device to automatically create a WPA2 secured wireless connection
    - AP Isolation mode segregates the wireless devices on your network so they can communicate with the Access Point but not with each other

Step Up to Wireless-N
The Linksys by Cisco Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point is the best way to add high-speed wireless capability to your existing home or small office network.
