(Product News, 23 Sep 2008)
Linksys, a Division of Cisco, has released its first simultaneous dual-N band wireless router for the Hong Kong marketthe WRT610Nwhich is designed to offer true Wireless-N performance in both the 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands. The WRT610N works with any DSL or cable broadband connection and offers a great entertainment experience when streaming video and music around the home.
Dual-N Band Wireless networking is designed to allow consumers to utilize both the 2.4GHz wireless spectrum and the wider, less crowded 5GHz wireless spectrum. The 5GHz band is ideal for streaming media and provides more than seven times the number of non-overlapping wireless channels, allowing for clearer transmissions. The 2.4GHz spectrum allows older network devices like print servers, cameras or older notebooks and PCs to access the network. As opposed to other solutions, the WRT610N is designed to allow consumers to achieve full Wireless-N network speeds on both bands at the same time.
