Linksys wireless routers offer a number of benefits to computer users. With a wireless router, your office can enjoy Internet sharing, firewall features and networking capabilities. Some wireless routers even act as multiple devices, so your Linksys wireless router may also act as an access point so employees have cable-free access to your network.

Wireless routers are able to encode all wireless transmissions to help protect your privacy and your data. They’re also easy to operate, allowing you to add additional hubs without networking software, so your office network is as large as it needs to be. The Internet makes it easy for you to find Linksys wireless router information. Ask your Linksys wireless router provider about:

1. A Wireless-N Linksys wireless router for wide coverage.

2. A RangePlus Linksys wireless router to connect even in dead zones.

3. A Wireless-G Linksys wireless router for standard compatibility.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Expand your range with a Wireless-N Linksys wireless router

Wireless-N technology allows you to connect at distances you might have previously thought were impossible. In fact, you actually enjoy a better speed advantage as you get further away. Wireless-N is great if you want to play computer games, stream video or even if you use Voice over IP technology.

I recommend: When looking for a Wireless-N Linksys wireless router, compare the Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router, the Wireless-N Gigabit Router, the Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link and the Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router.

Connect in dead areas with a RangePlus Linksys wireless router

RangePlus technology helps fill in the gaps if there are dead zones in your wireless network. RangePlus helps you maintain a connection longer than the standard Wireless-G equipment, but it's not quite as strong as Wireless-N. RangePlus is compatible with Wireless-G and Wireless-B equipment.

I recommend: Linksys has two versions of their RangePlus Wireless Router: the WRT100 and the WRT110.

Rely on the standard: a Wireless-G Linksys wireless router

The standard for wireless is Wireless-G. It's about five times as fast as the old standard, Wireless-B, and Wireless-G is what you'll find at many of your favorite wireless hot spots. Even if you still have Wireless-B equipment, your Wireless-G Linksys wireless router is compatible.

I recommend: If you want a standard Wireless-G Linksys wireless router, consider the Wireless-G Broadband Router, the Wireless-G Router for Mobile Broadband, the Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster and the Compact Wireless-G Broadband Router.
