Linksys intros next-gen routers for home users

MUMBAI, INDIA: Linksys has announced the launch of its Ultra RangePlus wireless-N broadband router (WRT160N) and the Ultra RangePlus wireless-N Gigabit router (WRT310N).

These routers feature a stylish new design and come with improved usability features such as the Linksys easylink advisor (LELA), which helps simplify the set-up of the network, and helps assure that all devices and connections are stable and highly secure.

“The new Ultra RangePlus routers showcase the way in which Linksys is taking wireless-N to new levels of design, performance and ease of use. We strongly believe that the sleek new router design is sympathetic to modern living whereas traditional routers have been hidden in a cupboard or behind a curtain,” said Sanjeev Gupta, Director—Channels, APAC, Linksys.

The WRT160N and WRT310N are designed to take the router out of the study and into the living room. Both come with a shiny finish, alluring curves and slim profile. Both feature RangePlus internal antenna technology.

They come with Wi-Fi protected setup certification.

Wi-Fi protected setup is designed to simplify the task of setting up security on wireless networks.

It includes a one-button synchronization feature that enables certified products to join together.

WRT160N is available for Rs 5,999 and WRT310N for Rs 7,999.
