Customer Review: Great router
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted a draft N router to upgrade my "G" network, but it took me a while to take action. This was mainly due to the reviews the Linksys routers were getting. I had Linksys and wanted to keep within the brand, since my experience with it has always been a good one. Finally, I decided to make the switch and chose the gaming one because of the Gigabit connection. At that time (a year ago,) I didn't think the data-lynk version was a better choice. Today, I think I would go that route instead.
The installation was easy and quick; basically, similar to the one I performed on the old Linksys G router. The network was up and running without any problems. My laptop has an Intel N card and connected with no problem. It actually has a faster connection wirelessly than with the Ethernet card (10/100.)
I'm very happy with the purchase, and once resolved the problems of the kids' computer connection (which ended up with a Linksys WUSB300N Wireless-N USB Network Adapter,) the network has worked with no problems at all for the last 14 months.
The only good thing I got for waiting was a better price, since it dropped a little when I bought it. But I have to say, I recommend this product without hesitation. My next router will be a Linksys N draft with VPN.
Description of Cisco-Linksys WRT330N Wireless-N Gigabit Gaming Router
"The Wireless-N Gigabit Gaming Router is really four 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 10/100/1000 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together at up to gigabit speeds. The Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. We've also included a Network Optimizer that applies various Quality of Service (QoS) techniques to your network traffic to make sure that time-sensitive applications like online and local network gaming run smoothly. It automatically determines what data is time-sensitive and what isn't, and prioritizes delivery of that data to its destination, ensuring the best-possible performance for the various types of data that go through your network. 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 up to 4 times 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 up to 12 times as fast as standard Wireless-G. To help protect your data and privacy, the Router can encode all wireless transmissions with industrial-strength 128-bit encryption.Digital Cameras and Photo Categories
