Dual-Band Entertainment Bridge

The list of wireless-enabled products continues to grow, especially in the home theater department. Cisco has a new Wireless-N Dual-Band Bridge that will allow you to connect multiple wireless home entertainment devices to the Internet, while supercharging the signal for high quality wireless streaming of 3D/HD media.

The new Linksys WES610N Wireless-N Dual-Band Entertainment Bridge offers a high-speed wireless connection up to 300 Mbps and its multiple antennas provide excellent range. You can connect up to four devices to the unit's four Ethernet ports, and, because it is dual-band, the bridge operates in either the 2.4 or 5 GHz radio bands to avoid interference. Quality of Service (QoS) also prioritizes traffic for smooth video viewing, music streaming and gaming performance, and a Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button makes it easy to pair with your wireless router.

The Linksys WES610N Wireless-N Dual-Band Entertainment Bridge is now available for $129.99. Cisco recommends pairing the bridges with a Dual Band-N Router like the Linksys E2500, E3200 or E4200, but it also works with other a/b/g/n wireless routers.
