Linksys WRT160N Ultra RangePlus Wireless N Router - Recertified
The Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router is really three devices in
one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to
the network without wires. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100
Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Finally, 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
the very latest wireless networking technology: Wireless-N (draft 802.11n).
By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N's "Multiple In,
Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate. Unlike
ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections,
MIMO 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 Wireless-N, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. It works great with standard Wireless-G and -B equipment, but when both ends of the wireless link are Wireless-N, the router can increase the throughput even more by using twice as much radio band, yielding speeds far faster than standard Wireless-G. But unlike other speedenhanced technologies, Wireless-N can dynamically enable this double-speed mode for Wireless-N devices, while still connecting to other wireless devices at their respective fastest speeds. In congested areas, the "good neighbor" mode ensures that the Router checks for other wireless devices in the area before gobbling up the radio band. 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 browserbased configuration utility.
The incredible speed of Wireless-N makes it ideal for media-centric applications like streaming video, gaming, and Voice over IP telephony, and gives you plenty of headroom to run multiple media-intense data streams through the network at the same time, with no degradation in performance. With the Linksys Wireless-N Broadband 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!

Set-up Was A Pain But Still Working After 2 Yrs
I bought this recertified router in April 2010 and after struggling to figure out how to configure it (I searched the web for instructions, as this came with none), I finally got it working (hint: computer and router can not have the same ip addresses). Anyway, it's been working fine. It's a good buy.

good but
Would not recommend at retail but at refurb pricing is worth it. Better if you are experienced at router setup as it was not intuitive (easy). Used in several environments and it performed well in an apartment with many other competing routers in range.

first refurb that did not meet expectations
tried this refurb for an upgrade to wireless N technology, first time a product did not meet my expectation. very low range away from the router, once i got it installed, ran hot, and it constantly dropped the internet signal. i tried living with it for a month.. it was not worth it. save your money.
