Wireless-N

• Wireless-N The 802.11n standard will be the next generation of high-speed Wi-Fi, capable of delivering the range and capacity to support today's most bandwidth-hungry applications, like streaming HD (High Definition) video, voice and music.

• Wireless-N uses multiple technologies such as MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output), which utilizes multiple radios to transmit and receive at the same time to maximize wireless networking performance. While MIMO itself is not a standard, it is the underlying technology behind the throughput increase in 802.11n. These multiple radios transmit multiple streams of data called "spatial streams." The higher the number of spatial streams, the higher the throughput.

• The Wireless-N gigabit router (WRT310N) and Wireless-N broadband router (WRT160N) delivers enough speed, range and reliability to support streaming HD video while simultaneously listening to your digital music collection, making Internet VoIP (Voice over IP) phone calls, and playing multiplayer online games when used with the Linksys Wireless-N laptop adapter (WPC300N). Wireless network performance can reach speeds faster than wired Ethernet speeds.*

* Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors lower actual data throughput rate

• Wireless-N is secure as Linksys Wireless-N products use today's most robust security methods like WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) encryption along with SPI/NAT firewalls to keep your network safe and data protected from unauthorized access.
