Wireless-N Access Point with Dual-Band (WAP610N) for the
Indian market. The new Access Point will upgrade ones existing wired
or wireless home network to high speed Dual Band Wireless-N.

Optimized to stream HD video across the
home network, the WAP610N works on both wireless frequencies, 2.4GHz
and 5 GHz to provide more reliable streaming and less interference
from other products or your neighbour's network. The WAP610N is
ideal for SOHO applications. Wireless-N can deliver the necessary
bandwidth you need for VoIP telephony, high volume data transfers or
back-ups, web surfing and emailing.

The access point comes with a Windows
and Macintosh compatible set up wizard, designed to simplify set-up,
giving users step-by-step instructions. The wizard will also prompt
users to enable security settings, helping to prevent network
hijacking which can lead to bandwidth constraints and online fraud.
With the integrated Wi-Fi Protected Setup, consumers can just push a
button on the Access Point and on another device to automatically
create a secure wireless connection. .

The WAP610N features Quality of Service
(QoS) capabilities to deliver your time-sensitive traffic such as
VoIP or audio/video efficiently. The built-in advanced Digital Signal
Processor helps reduce video glitches while special algorithms allow
higher throughput for a given range. Specially designed internal
antennas provide great range in an attractive, sleek case that looks
good in any room.

“The new Linksys WAP610N gives
consumers everything they need to create a high speed wireless
network. Addressing the increasing demand from the Indian consumers
and the rise in entertainment devices connected to home networks, the
WAP610N offers optimised HD video streaming as well as an upgrade to
your network, all encompassed into a sleek, stylish antenna-less
design, which wouldn't look out of place anywhere in your
home,”said Suresh Balasubramanian, National Sales Director-Consumer
Products, Cisco.
