Linksys WRT610N Wireless N Router
The sleek Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router works in two radio bands at the same time, delivering twice the bandwidth for smooth high-definition video, lag free gaming, and uninterrupted music in one band, while browsing the Internet, sharing files, sending e-mail, and printing in the other. Wireless-N gives you incredible range and speed in both bands, while Linksys' Entertainment Optimized Networking (EON) technology prioritizes network traffic so that time-sensitive applications like HD video stream smoothly.
The Storage Link feature lets you connect a hard drive or flash-based USB storage device directly to your network to easily add gigabytes of storage. Access your music, video, or data files from any PC within your network, or securely through the Internet. The 4 built-in Gigabit ports provide far faster connections to your wired devices than standard Ethernet ports.
Setup is quick and easy with the PC or Mac compatible Setup Wizard, and making secure wireless connections is as simple as pressing a button with Wi-Fi Protected Setup™. Use the included Linksys EasyLink Advisor (LELA) program as your personal technology expert to help manage and optimize your network as it grows.
With the Linksys Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router at the center of your home or office network, you can easily add storage, share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers and multi-player games, and run media-intensive applications at amazing speeds, without the hassle of stringing wires!

I bought this new combined with the WMP600N Dual-N adapter. Before making any changes I measured the signal strength of my old 2.4MHz G router and wireless adapter setup and it came in -50dB. Then I swapped out the old adapter for new and found signal strength had dropped bouncing between -58dB and -65dB occasionally dropping altogether. I then hooked up the new router and the combo of new router and new adapter maintained the same -58dB to -65dB observed earlier with same dropouts. So the adapter appears to be at least partially responsible. The new combo also gave me a reading of about -80dB with frequent drops on the new 5MHz signal which is quite low. Updated the firmware on the router and connectivity issues improved but did not completely go away. In the end with tweaking the 2.4MHz signal is good. I have been unable to get a reliable 5MHz connection going despite the fact there are no other 5MHz networks in my neighbourhood.
Still lowest price available

Checked out this product at Staples, and on the web. Still the best deal at TigerDirect. $50 to $70 savings.

Owned several other routers but this router is just great. I have a combination of situations. I have hard wire and wireless arrangement. Set up was a snap and have not dropped a connection since I installed the router. There are no antennas to worry about. My house is rather large and distance between and where I use a netbook or laptop makes no difference. Even while out of doors, signal is great. If you ever wanted a really good router this is the one.
Outstanding product
