<http://www.itwire.com.au/content/view/6332/127/>

Need to network your home at 1Gbps? Linksys thinks so and has just
introduced its first 1Gbps wireless router to enable you to do just
that.

The Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link (WRT350N) has a
four-port full-duplex 10/100/1000 switch and when used with the
Wireless-N notebook adapter (WPC300N) or Wireless-N desktop adapter
(WMP300N) is claimed to provide up to four times the range and 12
times the throughput of standard 802.11g wireless devices.

According to Mani Dhillon, director of product marketing, Home
Networking, Linksys. "Including gigabit ports on the WRT350N enables
users who like to push the limits of technology to reach maximum
performance levels by removing the bottleneck caused by 10/100
ports." He added: "Wireless speeds exceeding 100Mbps gives users the
opportunity to simultaneously watch high-definition video, stream
digital audio, play games online, make Voice over IP calls and surf
the Internet without any significant effect on performance."

The Storage Link facility enables any USB 2.0 storage device to
become a networked attached storage by plugging it into the WRT350N.
No custom software is required. The media server functionality within
Storage Link enables users to stream digital media to any
UPnP-enabled digital media adapter without the use of a PC. The
WRT350N has gone on sale in the US for $US229.99.
