Product Description
The Linksys Wireless-N ADSL2+ Gateway is the all-in-one solution for Internet connectivity. The ADSL2+ Modem function gives you a blazing fast connection to the Internet, far faster than a dial-up, and without tying up your phone line. The router function lets you share your high-speed Internet connection with all the PCs in the house.
Share files, printers, hard drive space, and other resources by connecting your computers to the gateway via the built-in 4-port 10/100 Ethernet Switch. Attach four wired PCs directly, or connect more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need.
Or, use the built-in Access Point to connect wireless devices to your network without running cables through the building. The Access Point built into the gateway uses the wireless networking technology - Wireless-N. By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N's "Multiple In, Multiple Out" 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 maintaining the wireless connection much farther than standard Wireless-G.
With Wireless-N, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. It works great with standard Wireless-G and -B equipment, but when both ends of the wireless link are Wireless-N, the gateway 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.
The Gateway protects your data and privacy with up to 256-bit industrial-strength encryption and 802.1x authentication and authorization. It also has a powerful SPI firewall to protect your computers against intruders and most known Internet attacks. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility.
With the Linksys Wireless-N ADSL2+ Gateway at the heart of your network, you're connected to the future.
Please note: networking components such as switches, routers and wireless devices require that speeds & standards be consistent throughout the network to gain optimum performance. To avoid compatibility clashes or for advice, please contact us on solutions@ebuyer.com.

Great
operating system:Windows XPFast deliver and best price as always from Ebuyer.
Opened the box (router smaller and smarter than expected) / plugged everything in / I am no expert but did not use the disk, just entered my network ID and password / changed the wireless encryption and password as shown in the basic instruction provided.
Everything was up and running in under 5 minuets / 1 main computer + 2 laptops running XP & Vista (one with VPN). Signal strength EXCELLENT so much better than my old 3COM / Five Bars in every room / not ventured up the garden yet!
This was much easier to install and has better coverage than I anticipated. Only running for six hours now but everything stable and definitely faster.
Great Price - Great bit of kit!
operating system:Windows XPI bought this for the price and the N Speed connection. This unit is 30 quid more elsewhere. Ordered Thu, received Fri, with free postage. The unit itself looks good, slim and modern. It took me just 10 minutes to set up. Have set up 2 computers in study wired (has 4 ports) also set up 2 laptops, range excellent - even from en suite toilet at opposite end of house (don't ask - you've got to test it haven't you) You won't get better quality or speed for this price.
All good so far!
Zippy little smart mode/router combo, arrived today, Note to Mac OSX users , the installation CD will not work on Macs, But follow the manual leaflet , and you should be up and running in no time.
Very pleased so far.. Ill do a full review soon.
Thanks to eBuyer for the nice price for this device!
Very Good. Well done Linksys (Cisco)
Got my Linksys WAG160N this morning. It's now set up and configured. Using the CD does help a little if you are not used to setting up a router. I've set up many myself before including my Netgear, D-Link routers and Home Hubs but still used the CD anyway.
I've heard that Linksys routers are not as easy to set up as Netgear ones. I have a Netgear DG834PN at home and think that this was even easier to set up.
I'm sure that you don't really need the CD to get up and running but it does no harm to use it.
The router looks very nice, much more slim than the Netgear.
Wireless seems Ok up till now. It works and I know from reading about this router that a few people have had some problems getting the wireless working with their particular networking cards.
The only issue I have had with the wireless is getting static IP configuration sorted out in Vista. Not such an issue with the router I don't think.
It works on static IP just fine with the ethernet card though.
Great price. Get one while they are still on offer!
