Product Description
The Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router is really three devices in one package. 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. 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. By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N's Multiple In, Multiple Out (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections much farther than standard Wireless-G. Wireless-N can dynamically enable 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 incredi

Stable Router July 15, 2008
I purchased this router with the sole intent of having a router that would not require me to constantly reboot it to reacquire a signal for the wireless machines in my home to work, or to gain new ip addresses. I've been pleasantly surprised with this router. I've had 2 other Linksys routers in the past (including Linksys srx200) and this one trumps all. For the last 3 months, barring power outages in my area, I have not dropped a single connection and have not been required to reboot the machine. Additionally, I have port fowarding set on this router, and this router handles the traffic very well.
 INSANELY EASY July 14, 2008
According to the directions, you put the CD in BEFORE you do ANYTHING, which is what I did. This thing literally was installed, hooked up and running in mere minutes! It's awesome! I'm in my living room typing on my laptop right now. I have never had the need for a wireless router of any kind until now so I have no experience apart from today with this sort of thing. I highly recommend this on all counts...easy to install, easy to set up, easy to use, works great!
This is it. July 12, 2008
I like this product a lot better then the earlier one. I did need help in getting it up and running right when it says it is easy to get going.
Almost Perfect Product July 12, 2008
WRT160N has everything a router should have and anything complicated automated. I am not a professional IT technician, but found this product EXTREMELY easy to be installed by the home user like me. I was able set up this router with restricted access for items on MAC list only and reserved IP addresses for my home computer and devices (one wireless laptop, a network printer and a hard wired desktop) - in less than an hour, no sweat!
However, the only downside: it does run a little bit too hot; therefore the one star off.
Mac users, beware.... July 12, 2008

I brought a new Links wireless WRT160N from Walmart; sorry Amazon, router and have been trying to get it to work for the last 2 days; but it wouldn't connect, whatever I did. Finally, out of desperation, I switched over to Firefox and EVERYTHING started working!!!! My probelm all along had not been the new router or Network preferences, but SAFARI!!! It was screwing things up. I would recommend that if you are upgrading to a new 'N' router, stay away from Safari and use Firefox, to access your 192.168.1.1 Linksys page. Webpages load super fast
and everything is allot smoother. I'm switching over to Firefox.
I don't know what it is about Safari, but Linksys wireless router, definitely do not like it.
