Product Description

The Linksys Wireless-NADSL2+ Gateway is the all-in-one solution for Internet connectivity. The ADSL2+Modem function gives you a blazing fast connection to the Internet, far fasterthan a dial-up, and without tying up your phone line. The Router function letsyou share your high-speed Internet connection with all the PCs in the house.Share files, printers, hard drive space, and other resources by connecting yourcomputers to the Gateway via the built-in 4-port10/100 Ethernet Switch. Attachfour wired PCs directly, or connect more hubs and switches to create as big anetwork as you need. Or, use the built-in Access Point to connect wirelessdevices to your network without running cables through the building. The AccessPoint built into the Gateway uses the very latest wireless networkingtechnology, Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By overlaying the signals of multipleradios, Wireless-N's Multiple In, Multiple Out (MIMO) technology multiplies theeffective data rate. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confusedby signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase therange and reduce dead spots in the wireless coverage area maintaining thewireless connection much farther than standard Wireless-G. With Wireless-N, thefarther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. It works great withstandard Wireless-G and -B equipment, but when both ends of the wireless linkare Wireless-N, the Gateway can increase the throughput even more by usingtwice as much radio band, yielding speeds far faster than standard Wireless-G.But unlike other speed-enhanced technologies, Wireless-N can dynamically enablethis double-speed mode for Wireless-N devices, while still connecting to otherwireless devices at the irrespective fastest speeds. In congested areas, thegood neighbor mode ensures that the Router checks for other wireless devices inthe area before gobbling up the radio band.
