Product Description
The Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link is four devices in one. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without wires. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100/1000 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together at up to gigabit speeds. The Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. The built-in Media Server streams music, video, and photos from the attached storage device to any UPnP compatible media adapter and you can get to your files from anywhere in the world through the Internet. The Access Point built into the Router uses the very latest wireless networking technology, Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N's Multiple In, Multiple Out (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections up to 3 times farther than standard Wireless-G. To help protect your data and privacy, the Router can encode all wireless transmissions with industrial-strength 256-bit encryption. It can serve as your network's DHCP Server, has a powerful SPI firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks, and supports VPN pass-through. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility. The incredible speed of Wireless-N and gigabit wired networking is ideal for media-centric applications like streaming video, gaming, and Voice over IP telephony, and gives you plenty of headroom to run multiple media-intense data streams through the network at the same time, with no degradation in performance.
Amazon.com Product Description
The Linksys WRT350N Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link is really four devices in one. The fastest and most advanced wireless solution currently available, this unit provides you with wireless access, connects your various devices or computers at high speeds, provides hassle-free storage options, and acts as a server to allow you access to your data and media from virtually anywhere. With the Linksys Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link at the center of your home or office network, you can easily add storage, share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers and multi-player games, and run media-intensive applications at amazing speeds, without the hassle or expense of stringing a lot of wires.p This Linksys Wireless-N Router with Storage link provides you with a Wireless Access Point (WAP) that lets you connect to the network without wires, and a built-in, four-port, full-duplex 10/100/1000 switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together at up to one-gigabit speeds. A built-in router function ties everything together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection, while a Storage Link feature lets you easily add gigabytes of storage space onto your network using readily available USB 2.0 hard drives, or plug in a USB flash disk for a convenient means of accessing your portable data files. There is also a built-in Media Server that streams music, video, and photos from an attached storage device to any UPnP compatible media adapter, allowing you to get your files from anywhere in the world via the Internet.p The Access Point built into this router uses the very latest in wireless networking technology -- Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N's Multiple-In, Multiple-Out (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate. Whereas ordinary wireless technologies are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually makes use of these reflections to increase the range while reducing dead spots in the coverage area. This means the signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections at up to three times the distance of standard Wireless-G, so the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. This Wireless-N router is fully backward compatible, so it works great with standard Wireless-G and -B devices, but when both ends of the wireless link are Wireless-N enabled, the router can increase the throughput even more by using twice as much radio band. This allows speeds up to 15 times that of standard Wireless-G. As a further convenience, unlike other speed-enhanced technologies, Wireless-N can dynamically enable this double-speed mode for Wireless-N devices, while still connecting to other wireless devices at their respective fastest speeds. For especially congested areas, there is a good neighbor mode that makes sure the router checks for other wireless devices in the area before gobbling up all the available radio band.p To help protect your data and privacy, this router can encode all its wireless transmissions with iron-clad, 256-bit Wireless Protected Access (WPA2) encryption. This unit can also serve as your network's DHCP server, includes a powerful SPI firewall to protect your all your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks, and supports VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through for the ultimate in network security. Despite all its features and functionality, configuration is simple and easy, thanks to the included web browser-based configuration utility. The incredible speed of Wireless-N and gigabit-wired networking is ideal for media-centric applications like streaming video, gaming, and voice-over-IP telephony, and gives you plenty of headroom to run multiple media-intense data streams through the network at the same time, without worrying about a degradation in performance.p This Linksys router features four Ethernet ports with numbered LEDs that indicate device connection and activity, LEDs indicating power, Internet activity, wireless activity, and security, as well as a top-panel button that is reserved for future functionality. There are ports for power, Internet, and Ethernet (four), a reset and security button, and three antennas. This unit uses CAT 5 cabling, and allows WEP, PSK, PSK2, and Radius security features, as well as 64 and 128 WEP key bits. The Linksys WRT350N is FCC, CE, and IC-03 certified, runs on 12-volts via an included adapter, measures approximately 1.57 x 6.93 x 7.4 inches (WxDxH), and is backed by a manufacturer's limited three-year warranty.

 Don't Pay Too Much November 26, 2008
The price was great I can't deny that, I paid $65. But the product has some complications. Such as losing connectivity from time to time out of no where. I believe Linksys is working on a new firmware to update this issue. If this product is over a $100.....DON'T BUY IT.
 mmmm... October 16, 2008
ok... here's the thing:br /I bought the router... I have a windows vista pc... and a "mybook" usb harddisk... my brother didn't have any problem connecting with the mybook plugged in into the storage link cause he has a windows XP pc... bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbuuuuuuuuuttttttt... I did... so I did a little research at the linksys website and it said that I had to upgrade the firmware... fine.. I did it...br /br /the whole thing crashed... I had to contact linksys to fix the problem... and still... when I thought that it was working fine... It started to freeze. I had to turn off and on every hour...br /br /The only thing that I could do to finally fix the router... (is how i have it right now) is using an open source firmware... and STIIIILLLL the storage link doesn't work... BUUUT is better than nothing...br /br /I like linksys... I never had a problem with linksys untill now...
 A great router if you install the rigth firmware. October 8, 2008

A few weeks ago lighting burned my ADSL modem, my old mighty WRT54G v2 and a 5 ports gigabit switch.br /br /I was looking for a device with more memory and perhaps a faster CPU and I found the WRT350N v1. This Pre-N device has a Broadcom 4785 @ 300MHz (The WRT54G v2 had a BCM4712 @ 200MHz), It has 32 MB of RAM, 8 MB of flash, an USB port, a 4 port gigabit switch and it was compatible with DD-WRT (min. version: v24 - build 0616). I went ahead and bought it from Amazon (good price and outstanding delivery service). When I got it, and immediately after plugging it, I upgraded it to DD-WRT (v24 SP1 final - mega build). I cannot comment on the device with stock Linksys firmware, but with DD-WRT, it is an outstanding router. My laptop immediately recognized it and connected at 130 Mbps. All other wireless devices worked just fine. The speed was right and the coverage was on-par to my old router (increased TX power to 83mw).br /br /I have not yet finished configuring all the additional features I intend to enable, but so far it has been a smooth and flawless experience. If you are having problems with a Linksys WRT350N I really recommend you upgrading it to DD-WRT, it is not as difficult as it first seems, and after you have done so, you will end with a much more capable and reliable device.
DD-WRT works great on this router October 3, 2008

Linksys WRT350N -- not all it should be... September 30, 2008
I purchased this product from Amazon.com. Their sales, product shipping all was excellent. I received the router within 3 business days, at regular shipping. Great...br /Well, that is when the problems began. The software included with the router did not set up the router properly (I followed the instructions to the letter). Following that failure, I spent over 2 hours with a very patient and cordial Linksys Rep. who helped me set it up...at least to the point that it would let my computers access the internet. The USB port on this unit has proved to be worthless, as I cannot access the additional storage drive from my wireless laptop, or the hard wired PC machine. This port was included by Linksys to add an additional storage device... Using a USB Port on a hub works much better.br /I will have to call Linksys again to try and resolve this storage drive problem as well as the fact that I cannot communicate wirelessly with my wireless HP Printer. The printer was working fine on the old Linksys Router. If I had it to do over again, I would keep my money and the old router... the set up problems, the lack of performance for the storage port are not worth the additional cost of this router... br /
