This is a nice wireless router you can use for your home network. But if you're looking for an alternative, I suggest checking out Netgear's Wireless Router for Video and Gaming. You can use it to connect computers, notebooks, or wireless printers, and also your networked home theater devices. You can also use this to stream video and music from a USB drive to media players and DLNA TV's, even without using a computer. Not that's one powerful wireless router for you.

Actually Netgear came out with the dual band router well before Linksys did. And unlike the Linksys, The Netgear works.

quote "However, the WRT610N does not include cable or DSL modem, the maximum performance for wireless is derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specification and more interestingly, the actual performance can vary, including lower wireless network capacity, data throughput rate, range and coverage."

The WRT series are routers. and will work with all present and future modem standards as long as the modem connects to the LAN via ethernet cable.

The N standard is the 802.11N so not surprising that it is an 802.11 standard :P

Max performance in advertising is SOP for any wireless. Variable performance including loss of signal when out of range ... well if you aren't aware of this aspect of radio transmission then where have you been this last hundred years?

That entire paragraph is filler :D

I'm with you on that one. It's getting worse too, what with the insane inflation that we're facing and all. The penny is virtually worthless now, so we're beginning to see .98, .95 and of course .90 at petrol stations. I'm fed up getting a handful of coppers in change!

Stop it!

Actually Netgear had it first

That router has been available for months in the states and canada... i have that router since May and it had been available for a while already...

Guess Euroland still gets everything late ;)

Now - why do they still do THAT?

It's a freaking rip off - tell me you misquoted the currency, as Linksys are taking the piss charging $1 = £1 and they can fark right off.

I've had this router for about a week and a half now. It's been at the Fry's in Indianapolis for at least that long and the sales guys said they had the router for yet another week. It is not that new so your information is old. Thanks.

.. if its anything like the WRT350N or the WPC300N wireless card, it'll almost certainly work pretty poorly, if at all.

The standard of linksys products appears to be slipping badly, their software and driver support is utterly abysmal.

I used to be a diehard Linksys user, but now my advice is... buy D-Link.. sad but true.


This is strange: the official announcement (for europe I guess) is now, I got mine 4 weeks ago here in germany. On the linksys website, there is no support for the wrt 610n since this device is simply not listed there.

No inbuilt modem no sale for that price it's alright having to router transmitters inside 1 for the PC & 1 for the PS3, XBOX 360 etc.

But it's going to cost more to get a modem that will handle such demands ADSL+2 or whatever.
