The Linksys Wireless-N Home Router includes a Wireless-N (draft 802.11n) access point, a 4-port full-duplex 10/100 switch and a router, allowing users to share content and their high-speed internet connection around the home.

Equipped with the latest draft-N technology the Linksys Wireless-N Home Router is designed to deliver more speed and range throughout the home - up to 12 times faster and up to 4 times the range of Wireless-G when teamed up with a Wireless-N client (maximum improvements).

Wireless-N is the next generation of wireless with advanced radio technologies that can increase speed with coverage that helps to eliminate dead spots in the wireless coverage area.

The level of speed that Wireless-N offers makes it ideal for media-centric applications like sharing data, streaming video, gaming, and VoIP, even if they are used all at the same time.

The Wireless-N Home Router from Linksys is certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance for the Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMMTM) standard.

The new Router can encode all wireless transmissions with industrial-strength 256-bit WPA2 encryption to help protect data and privacy and setup and configuration is quick and simple with the web-based configuration utility.

It can also act as a DHCP Server and its built-in powerful SPI firewall helps users to protect PCs against intruders and most known internet attacks.

It will be available in June for £79.99.
