Linksys WRT350N: Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link [12/12/2008 06:03 PM | Networking]
by Platon Scheblykin

Today we are going to discuss the Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link from Linksys that combines four devices in one box: the Wireless Access Point, a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100/1000 Switch, the router and Storage Link that lets you easily add gigabytes of storage space onto your network. Read our review for details.

We are going to discuss a home router from Linksys today. So far we have only covered one router from this company in our network equipment reviews, and that was quite a long time ago. The model was called WRT300N and it was one of the earliest home routers that supported the draft IEEE 802.11n standard. The WRT300N was soon followed by another product from Linksys, a Gigabit Ethernet router with Draft N support and an integrated USB 2.0 port. Called WRT350N, the new model was among the earliest Draft N routers with Gigabit Ethernet.

We have long been waiting for the WRT350N to come to our labs, and finally it’s here. We will test it now and see what it is capable of.
