10:30 pm	The Next generation Router By Linksys : Linksys E4200 Review Linksys E-4200 N750 Wireless N dual band simultaneous gigabit router is the brand-new router launched in Jan 2011 - the first wireless router unveiled by Linksys with N750 systems. Linksys E-4200 N750 is powered by the most up to date wireless 802.11n technology with dual band simultaneous supports which works with the 802.11b/g legacy clients. Should you have any computers with legacy Wi-Fi 802.11b or g, they're compatible with the router but with the optimum data transfer speeds your clients can connect. High Speeds The particular distinction between the previous Linksys E-3000 and Linksys E-4200 certainly is the speed specifications. The most speeds for E-3000 is 300Mbps in theory for both 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands this is typically referred to as the N600 router. While the Linksys E-4200 speed is 300Mbps for two.4GHz band and 450Mbps for 5GHz band - which is typically referred to as N750 routers. The wireless router comes with full 3x3 MIMO antenna array for maximum range and reliability. With the high speeds of up to 450Mbps (for 5GHz band) and the longer distance range coverage along with the addition of QoS function, the wireless router allows for maximum high performance wireless environment for high speed High-definition media content streaming and smooth and rapid response gaming experiences. NETGEAR also introduced the N750 router WNDR4000 which is essentially the similar specs as the Linksys E-4200 router. Both routers are equipped with the Gigabit WAN (1 port) and Gigabit LAN (4 ports) Ethernet interfaces. With Gigabit LAN interface, you'll be able to link up any machines with gigabit NIC enabled with the help of Cat5e network cable for high speed " cable " connection. Like NETGEAR WNDR4000, the Linksys E-4200 offers one Gigabit WAN port. For home customers who subscribe to Cable internet services, you may get connected to the high speed DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem such as Surfboard SB6120 which includes gigabit Ethernet port for optimum data throughput. Usb Port Linksys E-4200 contains one built-in USB port with UPnP Media Server to let you share an external storage with the computer clients on the local network or securely access via the web by means of virtual area network connection. Using the built-in UPnP AV Media Server you are able to stream your Hi-def media to different media devices such as the XBOX, PS3, Blu-Ray players, and television. Unfortunately, you can't work with this Usb port to host a USB printer for sharing. To share the printer through the computer network you have to spend money on different wireless print server or you may use the computer and configure it for print-server. Compared to the Netgear Premium edition WNDR3800, the router is capable of supporting the Usb port which may be employed to host an external storage or USB printer for sharing. However the WNDR3800 delivers speeds of up to300Mbps (N600 technology). In case you want the environment that supports both storage and printer for sharing, you might want to look into Belkin HD N600 which has 2 USB ports for storage and printer. Improved Features Like new routers with wireless 802.11n support, the router is capable of supporting the most advanced wireless security encryption: WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) a more powerful wireless security compared with the WEP (for legacy 802.11b/g devices). The Linksys E-Series supports the RADIUS too should your own organization network supports the RADIUS server for Authentication. You can enable the wireless router for RADIUS to merge with the RADIUS server for centralized authorization. Not many routers offer the Guest network access. Guest network access can be enabled to let your guests gain access to the internet without gaining access to your local network. You are able to let the Guest access to permit up to 5 guests to access the internet whilst not compromising your local network. All of the essential security features which includes the NAT and SPI are also integrated for protecting the network against any network intruders. The DHCP essential feature is also added to provide the IP address by default to all the computer clients on the network. Should you want the most data transfer rates from the wireless environment for demanding bandwith applications such as for seamless gaming and Hd multimedia streaming, Linksys E-4200 is your choice.
