Linksys Wireless-N Gigabit Router (WRT310N)

Linksys Wireless-N Gigabit Router (WRT310)
Top Side Angle

review

Linksys says it put a considerable amount of customer consultation into the look of its brand-new WRT310N wireless gateway router, and it shows. Instead of a featureless cube, the company opted for the slightly "winged" look to give at least a hint of the 310N's internal antenna array. The result is a sleek, petite look that's a far cry from our most recently reviewed Linksys router, the Editors' Choice–winning WRT600N, which fairly bristles with external antenna gear. You'll have to decide for yourself whether you like the new look; we think it's fine, and the latest Linksys software update is even better. Still, can a pretty face and slick outsides make up for the fact that this router operates only at 2.4 GHz, instead of the more n-friendly 5 GHz?

Bottom Line

The WRT310N is the new look of Linksys home routers, including not just a sleek new case but a face and feature lift to its EasyLink Advisor setup and management software. The result is a pretty new home router at an attractive price, whose one large fault is that it runs at 2.4 GHz only.

Pros

Easy config and network setup. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) support. Easy new configuration software. Good performance at 2.4 GHz.

Cons

No support for 5-GHz operation.
