Cisco Launches Linksys E4200 Maximum Performance Wireless Router

The New Next Gen NBN Ready Linksys E4200 Dual-Band Router Delivers Robust Speed And Range For The Ultimate Wireless Home Living

Cisco unveiled its best-in-class wireless home router - the Linksys E4200 Maximum Performance Dual-Band Wireless-N Router. As the flagship model of the new Linksys E-series family line, the Linksys E4200 is designed for optimum home theatre performance and works seamlessly with the latest entertainment devices, including Internet TVs, iPad mobile devices, game consoles, smart phones, e-readers, and VoIP devices. This new router not only helps boost performance and range in the home, but also provides industry-leading speed of up to 450 Mbps for smooth streaming of video, music and uninterrupted gaming. The Linksys E4200 is Next Generation Nationwide Broadband Network (Next Gen NBN) ready and optimises the speed of the fibre broadband network to deliver the performance demanded by wireless devices today.

Building on a decade of leadership and innovation from Linksys, this latest avant-garde router features simultaneous dual-band wireless-N, four gigabit ports, and a 3x3 antenna configuration that help give it unparalleled speed and range. Additionally, a combination of internal and external amplifiers coupled with six antennas help increase the signal strength across greater distances, providing improved home network coverage and reducing dead spots.
Apart from its advanced functionality, there is more than meets the eye to this maximum performance router. Having recently won the red dot design award 2011, the Linksys E4200 features a next-generation industrial design that combines advanced functionality with sleek contours, making it an eye-catching device in any living room.

Linksys E-series Family Line

The Linksys E-series family suite of routers which consists of E4200, E3000, E2000 and E1000, is a new range of wireless-N routers designed to deliver powerful home networking performance for consumers. The E-series routers give consumers the flexibility to enjoy wireless technology catered to their needs. In addition to the Linksys E4200, the E3000 and E2000 are also Next Gen NBN ready, giving consumers more options to harness the speed of the fibre broadband network. All Linksys E-series routers come with the new Cisco Connect software, to provide a simple three-step set-up, taking away the frustration and complexity of setting up a home network. The software also provides network management tools such as parental controls and guest access.

New Features for Storage, Sharing, and Simple Setup

The Linksys E4200’s new USB feature makes it easy to add external storage to the network and since it is an UPnP media server as well, consumers can easily store, share and stream movies, music and games to other devices around the home. The USB port also has the capability to convert into a virtual USB port which will also enable printers to easily connect to the network so all users in the home can print wirelessly.

Research firm IDC reports that worldwide shipments of wireless-N routers are expected to grow 158% from 2010 – 2014 and the number of household with multimedia networks will grow 103% over the same time period (IDC, Worldwide Home Networking 2010-2014 Forecast Update, Doc. # 225479, Nov. 2010). These growth projections emphasise the need for high performance routers like the Linksys E4200 that will provide the speed and range connectivity throughout the home.
