Optimized for Video

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.

 

Wireless Convenience

You've got the network ? now enhance it with Wireless-N access. Now you can grow your network by adding computers, printers and other wireless devices, without stringing cables. Also compatible with Wireless-G and -B devices. Reliable connectivity allows you to move your laptops, or set up your devices all around your home or office.

Easy Configuration

Push-button setup helps make it simple to add devices to your new wireless network. With Wi-Fi Protected Setup, you just push a button on the Access Point and on your other device to automatically create the wireless connection. Device and security configuration is a snap with the browser-based configuration utility.

Secure Wireless

To help protect your data and privacy, all wireless transmissions can be encrypted with industrial-strength Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security.

 

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.ÿ 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.ÿ Wireless-N can deliver the bandwidth you need for smoother gaming, streaming video, VoIP telephony, and websurfing.ÿ 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.ÿ 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.ÿ 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.ÿ 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.
