Enjoy high-speed Wi-Fi® networks at home and work by connecting your modems to Linksys® routers. This leading computer networking brand makes several high-performance wireless routers for different sizes of homes and businesses. When picking one of these users should consider their online activities, number of internet-connected devices available, and speeds offered by their internet plan. Browse the extensive selection of networking equipment at Staples® to find a wide range of Linksys wireless routers.
Choose the Right Linksys Router for Your Needs
This brand’s lineup includes Wireless-N and AC routers. A Wireless-N model supports the 802.11n Wi-Fi standard and offers a maximum speed of 450Mbps per band. It’s ideal for basic online activities such as browsing the web and checking emails. A Wireless-AC model is significantly faster, and better for bandwidth-intensive activities like HD video streaming, and online gaming.
Linksys makes different Wireless-AC routers for different users. Those replacing their Wireless-N units can choose entry-level models that offer speeds around 900Mbps. High-performance units with speeds between 1200Mbps and 2200Mbps are ideal for streaming and handling homes and offices with multiple users. Linksys also has a line of dedicated gaming routers with speeds between 3200Mbps and 5400Mbps. These models prioritize online gaming traffic.
Consider Performance and Range When Comparing Linksys Routers
Routers transmit and receive Wi-Fi signals with radios and antennas. Having more radios and antennas improves performance and wireless range. Usually, external antennas perform better than internal ones. When shopping for routers, choose one with two external antennas to cover a small home or office. Those with three to four antennas are perfect for mid-sized apartments and offices. Opt for a model with eight antennas to avoid wireless dead zones and slow connection speeds farther away from the router.
Linksys makes dual-band and tri-band routers. A dual-band unit operates on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands. Compared to a single-band model that only operates on the 2.4GHz frequency, it’s less prone to wireless interference, and network congestion. A tri-band unit adds a second 5GHz band to further reduce interference and congestion and maintain high connection speeds with many devices connected to it.
Should You Get a Linksys Mesh Router?
Unlike a regular router, extending the range of a Wi-Fi network created with a mesh unit is as easy as adding another one. Two or more such Linksys routers create a mesh network with overlapping signals that cover a wider area. Choose mesh units for a large home or office that covers 3,000 square feet or more. They also provide better performance in multi-story buildings.
Do You Need Linksys WRT Routers?
These offer users more control over the settings of their network connections. A Linksys router runs DD-WRT, an open-source firmware based on the Linux™ operating system. With this, users can monitor their bandwidths more closely, increase antenna signal strength, and use VPN to encrypt traffic and avoid geo-restrictions. These models are for power users that want to customize their equipment and need advanced features.
What Are Smart Linksys Routers?
These are models that support the brand’s Smart Wi-Fi service. Users can remotely access their devices online via their Linksys cloud accounts. This means they can change device settings and monitor network performance from any computer or the Linksys mobile app.
