Linksys Cisco Router Wireless

Linksys EA6500 review

" The number of 802.11ac routers is steadily increasing. The latest one we got our hands on comes from Cisco, in the form of the Linksys EA6500. It's supposed to become the new router for the consumer market. Hardware.Info tested the EA6500 to find out whether the performance and features warrant those dreams. Cisco is not the first to come with an 802.11ac router, but it did right away also release an 802.11ac bridge with the Linksys WUMC710. The only other manufacturer to do so thusfar is Buffalo. The EA6500 costs around £160, while the WUMC710 has a price of around £90. Together these are definitely not an affordable setup, but it beats buying two routers in order to put one in bridge mode.

Cisco E4200v2 Maximum Performance Dual-Band N900 Router Review

" Most of us run small home networks, nothing too fancy but something that works for our needs. 10/100 networks for the modest home users are usually sufficient and when coupled with a quality wireless router you can have the best of both worlds; Speed and Freedom. I can remember back to my first experience with wireless networking and although it was 802.11b I was always trying to get more out of it. Making crazy devices such as cantennas to attract more of that wireless signal out to the patio so I could sit by the pool and enjoy my morning coffee while reading the latest tech news. These days’ things are easier, with the transition to 802.11n and with 802.11g being standard on a lot of consumer devices we get more of that range we were looking for back in the beginning. While 802.11g was a great advance forward in wireless technology I always found I was sacrificing speed for the range I was receiving and nothing ruins your morning coffee like messing with wireless settings in your router. Today we have wireless N or 802.11n that utilizes two spectrums one being the same 2.4 GHz band that 802.11b/g uses and the other being the 5 GHz band that was the original 802.11a spectrum. "
