WRT610N Linksys wireless router is a four in one box device; which when used with other Linksys wireless adapters with draft 2.0 802.11n standards will significantly boost the speed and performance of your wireless network either at home or at the office.

The four in one box device in WRT610N Linksys Wireless router includes the following functions:

1. A four RJ-45 port 10/100/1000 Mbps Giga Switch, allows you connect up to 4 computers or any other Ethernet device using the “wired” LAN RJ-45 CAT5e UTP cable. Unlike other wireless router with Fast Ethernet 100 Mbps, WRT610N Linksys wireless router provides you 4 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports to connect the desktop computers with Gigabit NIC adapter using high speed “wired” connection to the router.
2. A wireless access point for the wireless network environment. With WRT610N Linksys wireless router, allows the computers to boost the connection and a wider range than wireless standard 802.11G devices. With WRT610N, you can lease the IP addresses to the clients by activating the router as a DHCP server. With the smart – intelligent MIMO antenna technology that uses multiple radios to create a robust signal that travels farther and reduces dead spots, this WRT610N Linksys wireless router will blaze fast wireless speeds for high bandwidth applications such as video streaming or file sharing. With the Wireless-N, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. It is compatible with standard Wireless-G and -B equipment, but when both ends of the wireless link uses Wireless-N, the router can increase the throughput even more by using twice as much radio band, yielding speeds far 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.
