Linksys WRT160N Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Router Reviewed

wrt160n

Linksys WRT160N Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N router (US$117) features:

  • 802.11n (draft-n)
  • Broadcom chipset
  • WPA security
  • Parental Controls
  • SPI

PC Magazine reviewed the WRT160N, and gave it a 3 out of 5 ("Good") rating:

"The Linksys Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Router WRT160N is a good choice if you're looking for the cheapest wireless-n router you can find. It's a little slow, even for a 2.4-GHz-only router, but it's still significantly faster than wireless-g and slightly faster than the ultra-cheap WRT110. Linksys LELA 3.0 will be a nice addition, once Linksys gets it working right. In any case, the router's management interface offers enough options to make most home users happy-once they get past the installation bugs. There are certainly better, easier-to-use routers out there, but few you can find for under $100 on the street." [PCMag.com | Linksys WRT160N]
