Abstract: What’s unusual is Linksys’ dual-band performance. Simultaneous dual-band means the router can communicate to one client (or more) on the 2.4GHz band and another on 5GHz. The two bands can’t be bonded for a single client, but you can, for example, put your video streaming..

The dual-band Linksys WRT610N doesn’t come cheap but this is an advanced-spec router, with USB storage and great performance. The dual-band feature is most useful for those with a mixture of 2.4 and 5GHz clients....
Allows simultaneous connections, incredible granularity in configuration; no need to restart for most configuration changes.

Linksys has tried to improve the WRT610N and make it easier for Mac users to work with. But it has not succeeded. All the problems I found could be solved through firmware updates to fix obvious bugs, and better packaging and explanation of its softwa...
Compact, internal antenna design; supports both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz Draft N simultaneously; network-attached storage functionality; runs cool; supports Wi-Fi-Protected Setup.
Short one-year warranty; 2.4GHz close-range and mixed-mode throughput could be better; expensive.
The WRT610N can satisfy both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wireless clients with its solid performance, great design, ease of use, and its ability to work as a network storage device when coupled with an external hard drive. Price range: $149.99 - $199.99
Designed for the modern office or ultra-wired home, the Linksys WRT610N Ultra RangePlus Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router is a sleek, stylish, and—most important—super-fast Wi-Fi router. The WRT610N trumps every other premier model from...
Great. Even though the outside shell has changed from the traditional utilitarian Linksys blue and charcoal to a shiny dust-magnet black, the innards still carry on their workmanlike quality. We placed it on the second floor of our three floor house a...
Broadcasts two separate networks; great LELA software; good 5GHz performance; can add USB storage to a network; WPS support
USB storage configuration could be easier; setup leaves out crucial step; no print server
The Linksys WRT610N is a solid, all-around dual-band router that takes the pain out of administering a network. Its not the fastest Draft N router weve tested, but its very easy to administer thanks to its LELA software....
