Want a powerful router that has the ability to release you from wires? This router is awesome for that. It features MIMO technology (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) and with two 6-inch tall antennas on the top looks very mean and powerful. This router has been very simple to set up. It's wireless which allows me to take my laptop and roam the yard freely while the kids play their bikes, or on the swing set outside with no problems.

The router uses the 2.4 GHz 802.11g technology. This makes it very powerful and able to be versatile with most wireless technology. Let us talk some techy stuff a minute then we will skip along to more interesting details. It is compatible with the following wireless standards: IEE 802.3, IEE 802.3u, IEE 802.11g, and IEE 802.11b. Operates on 11 channels in the US and Canada and 13 channels in Europe. Includes one 10/100 FJ-45 Port and Four 10/100 RJ-45 Switched Ports (LAN), Power Port as well as a Reset Button. The following LED lights are on the unit itself: Power, DMZ, Wireless, Ethernet (1,2,3,4), and Internet lights.

At 6.38" wide by 6.38" tall, and only 1.57" thick this router is still small enough to fit on the desk or be mounted to the wall for a space saver on the desk. Small and powerful is definitely the purpose of this router. Handles up to four computers, either wired or wirelessly this router is very versatile.

I have had this router for about six months now and have been very happy with it. I bought this router to replace a cheap little Zytel router that I purchased on sale for $20. While I much prefer the price of the zytel router compared to this bad boy. This router I paid $100 for. However compared to my $20 router I'm staying online a lot more, fewer drops, fewer router resets, and able to go all the way to the end of my driveway which is approximately 200 feet easily away from my router.
