Linksys WRT310N Video Transcript

>> Hello this is Dong Ngo, testing analyst for CNET dot com and today we'll take the first look at the Linksys N Ultra RangePlus wireless router. Actually this is more like a second look at this router, but practically the same physical design as the Linksys RangePlus WRT110, that's what we reviewed recently. It also has the shape and resemble that of an UFO. On the back there's 4 LAN ports and 1 WAN port. These ports however, are O gigabit ports which is 10 times faster than those of the WRT110. On the front, the WRT310N also have the same LED light layout with the Wi-Fi protected set up but right in the middle. Pressing the button will open a few minute window tab during which other Wi-Fi protected set up client can be added to the network without you having to type in the encryption key. The WRT110, this WRT310N doesn't have a USB port either. This means you can't expect USB related features such as print server or network storage. The Linksys N Ultra RangePlus WRT310N, like the name suggests, support Linksys RangePlus technology and it's also Draft and 2 point 0 compliant. It promises much better performance both in range and throughput. For this reason the WRT310N costs a 120 dollars, but 4 dollars more than a WRT110. Once again my name is Dong Ngo and this has been the first look at the Linksys N Ultra RangePlus wireless router, WRT310N. [ music ]

Linksys Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Router WRT400N

The Linksys WRT400N Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router is a good option for your wireless network, thanks to its support of both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands, its helpful software application, and a good set of networking features. The router's unimpressive 5Ghz throughput speed and lack of Gigabit and USB support are the only major knocks against it.33568803

Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router WRT320N

The Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router WRT320N forces you to pick either the 2.4GHz or the 5GHz band for your wireless network. Given that, it's not an ideal choice for an environment with both types of wireless clients. The router offers good wireless performance and features a high-speed wired network that caps at 1,000Mbps.

Belkin N+ Wireless Router

The Belkin N+ Wireless Router is a great performer with excellent range and throughput speed. If its bulky design and lack of 5GHz frequency support don't put you off, the router is worth every penny of its $100 or so price tag.

The Sleek Audio SA6 earphones deliver above-average sound quality and an unprecedented modular design, but there are better earphones available in this price range.

Netgear WNR834B RangeMax router

Though its maximum throughput is solid and its speed at long range is respectable, the Netgear WNR834B's mixed-mode speed is not. Save your cash until more Draft N routers make it through CNET Labs.

Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router Review

The good: Compact, antenna-free design; great range, unparalleled performance among Draft N routers.

The bad: Runs very hot; no USB-related features; a short one-year warranty.

The bottom line: Aside from its potentially worrisome heat output, the Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router is a networking dynamo with chart-topping performance and a sleek (maybe too sleek) design.
