| Description: |
| The Linksys WRT110 RangePlus Wireless Router is really three devices in one box. There's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without wires. A built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch connects your wired-Ethernet devices together. The Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. The Access Point built into the Router uses smart antenna technology to achieve extended range. The Multiple In, Multiple Out (MIMO) technology actually uses these reflections to increase the range and reduce dead spots in the wireless coverage area. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections much farther than standard Wireless-G. With MIMO, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. The RangePlus Wireless Router can dynamically enable this double-speed mode for compatible devices, while still connecting to other wireless devices at their respective fastest speeds. To help protect your data and privacy, the Router can encode all wireless transmissions with industrial-strength 256-bit encryption. It can serve as your network's DHCP Server, has a powerful SPI firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks, and supports VPN pass-through. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility. With the Linksys RangePlus Wireless Router at the center of your home or office network, you can share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers, and multi-player games, and run media-intensive applications at incredible speeds, without the hassle of stringing wires. |

Great Product, April 24, 2008
By user (Boston, MA)
I have owned a Linksys B wireless router for over 4 years. I have too many products competing for a wireless signal so I decided to upgrade to the 110. The only issue I had is where I had to call tech support to find out where in the router's menu could I change the output to B/G.
I have the following items connected
PS3
XBOX 360
iPod Touch
XP Laptop
Vista Laptop
Mac iBook
XP Desktop
I usually have the one laptop and a video game console going at the same time and don't notice any problems. The router is on the second floor and the video games systmes and laptops are on the first floor. I don't have experience with any other companies and I would continue to use Linksys products.

Comcast and Tech Support, April 16, 2008
By user (Seattle, WA)
The installation CD is sraightforward and walked me thru the installation, and I had no problem connecting with my Comcast broadband. However, I'm not very computer literate and did my initial set-up using the WPA protocol (high security encryption), but was unable to get my 2nd computer's adapter to connect with the router. I finally called the 800 tech support number and my wait time was about 5-min at 8 PM (I don't know what time it was in Bombay!). The tech rep walked me thru a reconfiguration and got my adapter to connect to the router, and explained that my 2nd computer is an older one (4+ years old) and didn't support the WPA protocol; he helped me to set it up with the WEP protocol and everything worked fine. Oh yeah, I like the style without the external antennas...I call it the "Stealth" router!

Very Easy Setup and Improved Range, April 14, 2008
By user
I also have Comcast and was able to hook up this unit, replacing a WRT54G, with no problem at all using a Windows XP desktop and the installation wizard CD. The WRT54G's limited range did not work in all areas of my house, and the WRT110 has resolved that issue. Devices that are 80-100 feet away from the unit have a strong, consistent signal. The only downside that I have found with Linksys is that the wait times on support calls has become greatly extended from what it was two years ago. It seems like the support staffing has not kept up with the number of units being supported.

it DOES work with Comcast and Mac, April 11, 2008
By user (GO EAGLES, PA)
The only other reviewer of this product rated it only 1 star because he said it did not wok with Comcast. Well, I have Comcast and it works just fine for me. I had to call tech support because I have a Mac and the router's start-up disc doesn't work with a Mac. I spent about 15 minutes on the phone with the lady and she had me up and running no problem. My issue had to do with my having an iMac, not Comcast. My only complaint so far is that there is no start-up disc for Mac users or no documentation in the packaging about being able to go to the Linksys website where it is very easy to install this product online . Linksys should really get with the program and start taking care of us Apple based consumers... Not all of us can afford the $179 and up for Air Port Extreme.

call linksys support to find out that you have to return it to the store, April 7, 2008
By user (usa)
It does not work with comcast cable. You call linksys support, spend ~ an hour trying to configure it and than they tell you to go and buy 54G model that works and to return this one to the store because it does not work !!! ... This is the most "amazing" support experience I had in my life
(it is really -1 star - not +1 star)
