Linksys E3000

Chapter 1: Product Overview

Thank you for choosing the Linksys E3000 High Performance Wireless-N Router.. The Router lets you access the Internet via a wireless connection or through one of its four switched Gigabit Ethernet ports.. With the built‑in Storage Link, you can easily add gigabytes of storage space onto your network using USB 2..0 hard drives, or plug in a USB flash disk to access your portable data files.. The E3000’s built-in media server streams music, video and photos from an attached storage device to any UPnP‑compatible media adapter or player.. A variety of security features help to protect your data and your privacy while you are online.. Security features include Wi‑Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) security which provides encryption for data on your wireless network, a Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall to block unwanted access to your Router, and Network Address Translation (NAT) technology to protect and allow your entire network to access the Internet using a single Internet IP address..

Setup and use of the Router is easy using Cisco Connect, the software that is installed when you run the included CD.. Advanced configuration of the Router is available through the provided browser‑based utility..

For more wireless bandwidth, the Router can create two simultaneous yet separate Wireless-N networks, one using the 5 GHz band and one using the 2..4 GHz band.. For example, use the Wireless-N 2..4 GHz network to surf, e-mail, and print while keeping the less crowded, Wireless-N 5 GHz network free for time‑sensitive traffic like music, gaming, and high‑definition video.. For more information, refer to Simultaneous Networks, page 19.. The Guest Access features allows you to provide Internet access to guests visiting your home without granting them access to your local network..
