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 ]
