The E2100L Advanced Wireless-N Router from Cisco is a sophisticated and yet easy-to-use router that provides Internet access to your wireless-N devices. With this wireless technology, you can transfer data between your computer, wireless printer, or other WiFi devices at a rate of up to 300 Mbps. In addition, the router can also connect to wireless devices that are only compatible with 802.11b or 802.11g standards. Aside from wireless connections, the router has one Ethernet WAN port for connecting to your modem and four 10/100 Ethernet LAN ports for establishing wired connections.
Because the router has a built-in UPnP AV Media Server, you can wirelessly stream media content to compatible devices, such as an Xbox 360 or PS3. Plus, with the router's built-in USB port, you can connect a USB storage device and share files to other WiFi computers or your UPnP AV media devices on your network. You can also remotely access this storage from a computer outside of the network.
This router is easy to setup with the included software CD and also includes a variety of security features, such as WPA/WPA2, WEB, RADIUS, and an SPI Firewall. While it is compatible with Mac and Windows operating systems, you can also customize its functions with Linux.
