Supplemental Information
1 Product Overview
The Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Router is really four devices in one box. First, there's the dual-
band Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without wires. There's also a built-in
4-port full-duplex 10/100/1000 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together at up to gigabit
speeds. The Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network shares a high-speed cable or
DSL Internet connection.
We've also included a Storage Link that lets you easily add gigabytes of storage space onto your network
using readily available USB 2.0 hard drives -- or plug in a USB flash disk for a convenient way to access
your portable data files. The built-in Media Server streams music, video, and photos from the attached
storage device to any UPnP compatible media adapter. And you can get to your files from anywhere in
the world through the Internet.
The Access Point built into the Router uses a dual-band version of the very latest wireless networking
technology, 802.11n standard. By overlaying the signals of multiple radios for each band, 802.11n'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 signals travel
farther, maintaining wireless connections much farther than standard Wireless-G.
With 802.11n, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. It works great with standard
Wireless-G, -A, and -B equipment, but when both ends of the wireless link are 802.11n, the router can
increase the throughput even more by using twice as much radio band, yielding speeds much faster than
standard Wireless-G. But unlike other speed-enhanced technologies, 802.11n can dynamically enable
this double-speed mode for 802.11n 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.
Since the Router can operate in both the 2.4 and 5 gigahertz radio bands at the same time, it effectively
doubles your available wireless bandwidth. For instance, you could set up your network to handle video
streaming on one radio band, and use the other band for simultaneous data transfers -- avoiding any
interference or collisions that would degrade the video performance.
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.
The incredible speed of 802.11n and gigabit wired networking is 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 802.11n Storage Link 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!

2. Cet appareil est conçu pour fonctionner avec une
antenne ayant un gain maximal de 3,8 dBi à 2,4 GHz
et de 5,3 dBi à 5 GHz. Les antennes ayant un gain plus
élevé sont strictement interdites par Industrie Canada.
L’impédance d’antenne requise est de 50 ohms.
Du fait que les radars haute puissance ont la priorité
dans les bandes 5 250-5 350 MHz et 5 650-5 850 MHz, ils
pourraient causer des interférences ou endommager les
périphériques réseau sans fil.
Autres restrictions pour la bande 5 600-5 650 MHz : sauf
avis contraire, les périphériques concernés par cette
section ne doivent pas être capables de transmettre dans
la bande 5 600-5 650 MHz afin de protéger les radars
d’Environnement Canada qui l’utilisent.
Wireless Disclaimer
The maximum performance for wireless is derived from
IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual performance
can vary, including lower wireless network capacity,
data throughput rate, range and coverage. Performance
depends on many factors, conditions and variables,
including distance from the access point, volume of
network traffic, building materials and construction,
operating system used, mix of wireless products used,
interference and other adverse conditions.
Avis de non-responsabilité concernant
les appareils sans fil
Les performances maximales pour les réseaux sans fil
sont tirées des spécifications de la norme IEEE 802.11.
Les performances réelles peuvent varier, notamment
en fonction de la capacité du réseau sans fil, du débit
de la transmission de données, de la portée et de la
couverture. Les performances dépendent de facteurs,
conditions et variables multiples, en particulier de la
distance par rapport au point d’accès, du volume du trafic
réseau, des matériaux utilisés dans le bâtiment et du
type de construction, du système d’exploitation et de la
combinaison de produits sans fil utilisés, des interférences
et de toute autre condition défavorable.
