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

Linksys E-4200 N750 Wireless N dual band simultaneous gigabit router is the new router introduced in Jan 2011 - the first router introduced by Linksys with N750 technology.

Linksys E-4200 N750 is powered by the newest wireless 802.11n technology with dual band simultaneous supports and it is compatible with the 802.11b/g inheritance clients. If you still have some computers with inheritance Wi-Fi 802.11b or g, they are still compatible with the router but with maximum speeds your clients can connect.

High Speeds

The main difference between the old Linksys E-3000 and Linksys E-4200 is the speed specs. The maximum speeds for E-3000 is 300Mbps theoretically for either 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz bands which is generally known as the N600 router. While the Linksys E-4200 speed is 300Mbps for 2.4Ghz band and 450Mbps for 5Ghz band - this is generally known as N750 routers.

The router includes full 3x3 Mimo antenna array for maximum range and reliability. With the high speeds of up to 450Mbps (for 5Ghz band) and the longer length range coverage and with the expanding of QoS feature, the router provides maximum high performance wireless environment for high speed Hd media streaming and plane and fast response gaming experiences. QoS (Quality of Service) technology is the ability of the router to furnish the traffic prioritization for gaming and streaming over other data traffic.

Netgear also introduced the N750 router Wndr4000 which is practically the same specs as the Linksys E-4200 router. Both routers are equipped with the Gigabit Wan (1 port) and Gigabit Lan (4 ports) Ethernet interfaces. With Gigabit Lan interface, you can connect any computers with gigabit Nic enabled using Cat5e network cable for high speed wired connection.

Like Netgear Wndr4000, the Linksys E-4200 includes one Gigabit Wan port. For home users who subscribe Cable internet services, you can connect to the high speed Docsis 3.0 cable modem such as Surfboard Sb6120 which includes gigabit Ethernet port for optimum data throughput.

Usb Port

Linksys E-4200 includes one built-in Usb port with UpnP Media Server to let you share an external storehouse with the users on the local network or securely way via the internet by means of Vpn connection. With the built-in UpnP Av Media Server you can stream your Hd media to other media devices 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 cut off 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 storehouse or Usb printer for sharing. But the Wndr3800 delivers the maximum speeds of up to300Mbps (N600 technology). Should you need the environment that supports both storehouse and printer for sharing, you may think Belkin Hd N600 which includes two Usb ports for storehouse and printer.

Advanced Security

Like other new routers with wireless 802.11n support, the router supports the newest wireless security encryption: Wpa/Wpa2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) the stronger wireless security compared with the Wep (for inheritance 802.11b/g devices). The Linksys E-Series supports the Radius as well if your company network supports the Radius server for Authentication and Authorization. You can enable the router for Radius to couple with the Radius server for centralized authentication.

Not many routers withhold the Guest network access. Guest network way can be enabled to allow your guests way the internet without gaining way to your local network. You can enable the Guest way to allow up to 5 guests to way the Internet without compromising your local network.

All the must have security features including the Nat and Spi are also included for protecting the network against any threats. The Dhcp must have feature also included to furnish the Ip address automatically to all the computers on the network.

Should you need the maximum speeds of the wireless environment for demanding high arduous bandwidth applications such as for plane gaming and Hd media streaming, Linksys E-4200 is your choice.
