Linksys has announced the launch of its Ultra RangePlus wireless-N broadband
router (WRT160N) and the Ultra RangePlus wireless-N Gigabit router (WRT310N).
These routers feature a stylish new design and come with improved usability
features such as the Linksys easylink advisor (LELA), which helps simplify the
set-up of the network, and help assure that all devices and connections are
stable and highly secure.

“The new Ultra RangePlus routers showcase the way in which Linksys is
taking wireless-N to new levels of design, performance and ease of use. We
strongly believe that the sleek new router design is sympathetic to modern
living whereas traditional routers have been hidden in a cupboard or behind a
curtain,” said Sanjeev Gupta, Director-Channels, APAC, Linksys.

The WRT160N and WRT310N are designed to take the router out of the study and
into the living room. Both come with a shiny finish, alluring curves and slim
profile. Both feature RangePlus internal antenna technology.

They come with Wi-Fi protected setup certification. Wi-Fi protected setup is
designed to simplify the task of setting up security on wireless networks. It
includes a one-button synchronization feature that enables certified products to
join together.

WRT160N is available for Rs 5,999 and WRT310N for Rs 7,999.
