Linksys might say the focus of this router is on range, but its not too shabby when it comes to speed, either. Its an 802.11 draft-n-based wireless router, which is easy to set-up and it looks great.

Youd be hard-pressed to find a true draft-n router for less than you can buy the Linksys Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Router (WRT160N). Linksyss own RangePlus Wireless Router (WRT110) may be $20 cheaper on the mean streets of Techtown, but its not a...

Thanks to a great price for a true draft-n router, the Linksys WRT160N is a good choice, as long as your home networking needs arent too advanced...

An overhauled installer makes for easy set-up of the sleek Linksys Ultra RangePlus Wireless N WRT160N.

Excellent setup wizard, Good performance, Fresh design...

More expensive than other budget N routers, No Gigabit Ethernet ports, Less range than expected...
