What's New With Linksys E-4200 Dual Band Gigabit Router?

Linksys Wireless N E-4200 N750 Dual Band Gigabit Router is simultaneously introduced the new router in January 2011 - first introduced the N750 Linksys router with the technology.

And Linksys N750-4200 is supported simultaneously the latest 802.11n wireless technology with dual-band powered and is compatible with 802.11b / g legacy clients. If you have any old Computer with free Wi-Fi 802.11b or g, are still with theRouter> but can connect with a maximum speed of your customers.

High-speed

The main difference between the previous Linksys Linksys E-3000 and E-4200 is the speed specifications. The maximum speed for E-3000 is 300Mbps is theoretically 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, which is commonly known as the N600 router. While the E-4200 300Mbps and 450Mbps speeds Linksys 2.4 GHz band for the band 5 GHz - this is commonly referred to as N750 router.

The router has full 3x3 MIMOArray of antennas for maximum range and reliability. With the high speeds of up to 450Mbps (for 5-GHz) and wider coverage and with the addition of QoS, the router provides the ultimate high-performance environMent, high-speed wireless HD media streaming and smooth and Fast responsive experience game. QoS (Quality of Service) technology is the ability of the router with traffic prioritization to provide games and other streaming dataTraffic.

NETGEAR also introduced the N750 with WNDR4000 router, which is almost the same specifications as the E-4200-Linksys router. Both routers with Gigabit WAN port (a port) and Gigabit LAN (4 ports), Ethernet interfaces. With Gigabit LAN, you can connect all your Computers with gigabit network card enabled with Cat5e network cable for connection to high-speed cable.

NETGEAR WNDR4000 as the Linksys E-4200 includes a Gigabit WAN port. For home users, thesubscribe to cable Internet service, you can connect to high-speed DOCSIS SB6120 Surfboard Cable Modem as 3.0 include Gigabit Ethernet port for maximum throughput.

USB port

Linksys E-4200 includes a USB port with UPnP media server so you can share an external storage device with the users on the local network, or securely over the Internet access via a VPN connection. With the built-in UPnP AV media server, you can view the HD media files to other media streamsdevices including the XBOX, PS3, Blu-Ray players, and TV.

Unfortunately, you cannot use this USB port to host a USB printer for sharing. To share the printer via the network you need to buy separate wireless print server or you can use the Computer and configure it traditionally for print-server.

Compared to the Netgear Premium edition WNDR3800, the router supports the USB port that can be used to host an external storage or USB printer for sharing. But the WNDR3800 delivers the maximum speeds of up to300Mbps (N600 technology). Should you require the environMent that supports both storage and printer for sharing, you may consider Belkin HD N600 which includes two USB ports for storage and printer.
