Cisco Linksys WRT610N Datasheet

Entertainment router for faster gaming, music,
and HD video streaming
The Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router is really four devices in one box. First, there's the dual-band
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 Storage Link that lets you easily add gigabytes of storage space onto your network
using readily available USB 2.0 hard drives -- or plug in a USB flash disk for a convenient way to access your
portable data files. The built-in Media Server streams music, video, and photos from the attached storage
device to any UPnP compatible media adapter. And you can get to your files from anywhere in the world
through the Internet.
The Access Point built into the Router uses a dual-band version of the very latest wireless networking
technology, Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By overlaying the signals of multiple radios for each band, 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 signals travel farther,
maintaining wireless connections much farther than standard Wireless-G
Wireless-N works great with standard Wireless-G, -A, 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 much faster than standard Wireless-G. But unlike other speed-enhanced technologies,
Wireless-N can dynamically enable this 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 and gigabit wired networking is 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.
