The E-Series Wireless Routers

Cisco-Linksys E1000 Wireless-N Router is a nice entry level router. It is a great value for money. 2.4GHz frequency is what this router operates on. What does that mean? There are some routers that run on two frequencies, 2.4GHz and 5GHz. These are a bit more expensive than the Linksys E1000 wireless router. The routers running on two frequencies have a lot less chance of getting interference. Lets say you have a baby monitor, also running on 2.4GHz, then the router that runs on just the one frequency (2.4GHz), is more prone to interference. Still, it does not mean drop-outs are frequent. It just means it is more susceptible. The range of the Linksys E1000 is quite good for a medium to a small size home or office. The setup of the router is also fairly easy. So, if you are out in the market for a entry level router and are new to networking with minimum needs, then this router will work for you just fine, especially considering the price.

Next router I want to talk about, which is also a dual band router, is the Cisco-Linksys E2000 Wireless-N Roouter. This router supports both, 2.4 and 5GHz frequencies. So, naturally the Linksys E2000 costs more than the E1000. With dual band capability, the E2000 is a lot less susceptible to interference from other appliances in the home. The setup is also quite easy. Thanks to the SPI firewall and the latest advanced security found in all Linksys E-series routers, you are very well protected from freeloaders and other Internet threats. Freeloaders are people that are not in your network but are trying to access the Internet through your network. Features like the parental control allows you to restrict Internet usage to certain times, and also block off unwanted sites. Hence, the children are restricted from going to certain sites that you don't want them to. Now, if you don't want them to have access to the Internet at certain times, say late in the night, you can do so.

In this group, Cisco-Linksys E3000 Wireless-N Router is probably the most popular one. It is also the most powerful one. This router also has dual band frequency capability.

If you are just connecting a couple of computers to the web then the Cisco-Linksys E1000 will be the best router for you.
