Linksys announced the availability of its first gigabit wireless-N router,
the Wireless-N Gigabit router with Storage Link (WRT350N). When teamed with the
Wireless-N notebook adapter (WPC300N) or Wireless-N desktop adapter (WMP300N)
the WRT350N is designed to provide up to four times the range and 12 times the
throughput of standard Wireless-G solutions.
The ultra-fast gigabit switch included in the WRT350N brings technology
previously present only in high-end businesses networks to the home. At
throughput speeds of up to 1000 Mbps, gigabit switching lessens the limitations
normally present when transmitting between wired and wireless connections.
“Including gigabit ports on the WRT350N enables users who like to push the
limits of technology to reach maximum performance levels by removing the
bottleneck caused by 10/100 ports,” said Sanjeev Gupta, Linksys Regional Sales
Director for Asia Pacific. “Wireless speeds exceeding 100 Mbps gives users the
opportunity to simultaneously watch high-definition video, stream digital audio,
play games online, make Voice over IP calls and surf the Internet without any
significant effect on performance.”
With Storage Link, any USB 2.0 storage device including inexpensive external
USB HDD can become networked attached storage by simply plugging it into the
WRT350N. The contents of the drive can be shared by everyone on the network,
making it an ideal solution for sharing files, digital music, videos, or
pictures. No custom software is required. The always-on media server
functionality within Storage Link enables users to stream digital media to any
UPnP-enabled digital media adapter without the use of a PC.
Wireless transmissions made using the WRT350N can be encoded with
industrial-strength encryption to help protect data and privacy. It can serve as
a DHCP server, supports VPN pass-through, and has a powerful SPI firewall to
help protect against intruders and most known Internet attacks. Enabling these
security features is easy with the Linksys Web browser-based configuration
utility.
The Linksys wireless-N Gigabit router (WRT250N) is available immediately for
an estimated street price of Rs 10,900. Page(s) 1
