Summary

To that end, Linksys has its slick Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link WRT600N ($149.99). It’s fast, long range, and can share USB drives (but not printers) across the network. It’s also fully backwards compatible with 802.11a/b/g devices.

A wireless router is essential equipment for home computing but you don’t necessarily need to be on the bleeding edge; any trusted name brand (like Linksys, D-Link, TP-Link or others) 802.11g router will suffice for most of us.

Summary

The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is really three devices in one box. First, there’s the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect both screaming fast Wireless-G (802.11g at 54Mbps) and Wireless-B (802.11b at 11Mbps) devices to the network. There’s also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Connect four PCs directly, or attach more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.
Once your computers are connected to the Router and the Internet, they can communicate with each other too, sharing resources and files. All your computers can print on a shared printer connected anywhere in the house. And your computers can share all kinds of files — music, digital pictures, and documents. Keep all your digital music on one computer, and listen to it anywhere in the house. Organize all of your family’s digital pictures in one place, to simplify finding the ones you want, and easing backup to CD-R. Utilize extra free space on one computer when another’s hard drive starts to fill up.  Read more...
