Internet-sharing Router and 4-port Gigabit Switch, with a built-in, dual-band, speed and range enhanced Wireless Access Point
Two simultaneous, separate, radio bands double your available bandwidth
MIMO technology uses multiple radios per band to create robust signals for maximum range and speed, with reduced dead spots
Connect a hard drive or flash-based USB storage device to allow access to your music, video, or data files from within your network, or through the Internet
Advanced wireless security and SPI firewall for protection from Internet attacks
Product Description: The Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router is really four devices in one. There's the dual-band Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without wires. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100/1000 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together at up to gigabit speeds. The Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. There is also a Storage Link that lets you easily add gigabytes of storage space onto your network using readily available USB 2.0 hard drives or plug in a USB flash disk for a convenient way to access your portable data files. The built-in Media Server streams music, video, and photos from the attached storage device to any UPnP compatible media adapter. The Access Point built into the Router uses a dual-band version of the very latest wireless networking technology, Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By overlaying the signals of multiple radios for each band, Wireless-N's Multiple In, Multiple Out (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase its range and reduce Dead Spots in the wireless coverage area. To help protect your data and privacy, the Router can encode all wireless transmissions with industrial-strength 256-bit encryption. Security features - WEP - WPA - WPA2 Security key bits - Up to 256-bit encryption System Requirements - Internet Explorer 6.0 or Firefox 1.0, CD-ROM drive, Windows 98 SE, ME, 2000, XP and Vista, and Network Adapter Dimensions - 7.48 x 5.71 x 7.01 (190x145x178mm) Weight - 1.51 pounds (683 grams)

Rating: - Works great once you've...
I set this up for my father-in-law and the WRT600N worked great once we learned to "unbridge" the DSL modem from AT&T. Once this was accomplished, the rest of the setup went very smoothly. This is the second Linksys wireless router I've purchased and I am very pleased with their performance. On this model, I believe they changed the TCIP address of the router to 192.168.1.0 vs the 192.168.1.1 address of my WRT330N router...not a "biggie" but took a little research to locate. I was also able to easily setup his USB backup drive off of the router so it could be used as network storage. He was ... Read More
Rating: - works great and looks great
I could not wait to install the Linksys WRT600n. Fortunately, I have a friend in my company IT department who helped me install this unit and my home network. This made things very easy. Once the unit was installed I noticed immediately that internet speeds increased tremedously, not only over my wifi network but on the hard wired network as well. I was using an older g wifi router from D-Link. The dual band work as described and the network security was very easy to set up. My laptop and other wifi applications noticed the network quickly and was very easy to setup.
Rating: - Nice spec. Lousy implementation.
I just can't recommend this router to anyone at the moment, esp. with some fundamental problems below:
1. DHCP - If you have a dedicated DHCP server somewhere on the network, then forget about this router. The darn thing would still assign IPs even if you disable the DHCP function. It'd also send DHCPNACK with DHCP diabled.
2. DHCP again - If you assign a DHCP range and assign them as static entries. It'd still assign those IPs to other machines.
3. DDNS - Obviously the router doesn't keep track of the WAN IP changes and if you save the configuration a few times, it'd try to update ... Read More
Rating: - A great router now that it's (kind of) affordable
I have been using this router for about a week. Setup was easy enough, even though I skipped the CD and just dove into the settings manually. The manual gives enough of a description of the settings to make your way around. One thing to note when changing router settings. Save your settings on each tab before you go to the next one. Otherwise, you lose your work. You can't just change all the settings and do one save action.
I teamed this router with the linksys WUSB600N USB adapter using only the N band. Speed has been very good with throughput on my DSL connection benchmarking ... Read More
Rating: - Easy setup - Very dissapointing Wireless performance
I purchased this unit because I gave my daughter the D-link DIR 655 unit I had (which worked extremely well). Since I needed a new unit I decided to give the WRT600N a try. Everything started very well. The installation was easy and intuitive. Networking is set and you're up and running in a few minutes, or so you thought...
My wife's PC is connected to the router via the 1GB Ethernet and naturally this connection is very fast. I have a ReadyNAS network storage device that is also connected to the router via a 1GB Ethernet connection. This is our central storage where we keep our files (movies, ... Read More
