The E2000 Advanced Wireless-N Router from Cisco by Linksys allows you to share your broadband Internet connection among the computers in your home -- wirelessly. The router adheres to the 802.11n Wi-Fi standard, which supports data transfers of up to 300Mbps. It is also backwards compatible with 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g devices, and features four wired Gigabit Ethernet ports for device connectivity.
The router can operate on either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band. You can select which frequency you want to use based on the devices you own and your environment. Almost every Wi-Fi device supports 2.4GHz networking, but it is prone to interference from neighboring networks and other devices in your home. Fewer devices support 5GHz Wi-Fi, but it can provide you a more stable Wi-Fi network that isn't prone to outside interference.
Simply plug the router into your broadband modem and it will start sharing your connection. The included Cisco Connect makes it easy to configure your network and connect other wireless devices. You can even use it to create a separate and secure network for visitors -- complete with password protection. Standard network security protocols, including WPA and WPA2, are supported by the router.
