Free P&P when you select super saver delivery during check out. I've got one of these routers and it's a cracking bit of kit - especially when you are getting the wireless N adapter for nothing!!!!!!!

Get the WAG160N Wireless-N ADSL Modem Router & a Wireless-N USB adapter worth £40!!! Strictly Limited Stock!!

The Linksys Wireless-N ADSL2+ Gateway is the all-in-one solution for Internet connectivity. The ADSL2+ Modem function gives you a blazing fast connection to the Internet, far faster than a dial-up, and without tying up your phone line. The router function lets you share your high-speed Internet connection with all the PCs in the house.

Share files, printers, hard drive space, and other resources by connecting your computers to the gateway via the built-in 4-port 10/100 Ethernet Switch. Attach four wired PCs directly, or connect more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need.

Or, use the built-in Access Point to connect wireless devices to your network without running cables through the building. The Access Point built into the gateway uses the wireless networking technology - Wireless-N. By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N's "Multiple In, Multiple Out" technology multiplies the effective data rate. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase the range and reduce "dead spots" in the wireless coverage area maintaining the wireless connection much farther than standard Wireless-G.

With Wireless-N, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. It works great with standard Wireless-G and -B equipment, but when both ends of the wireless link are Wireless-N, the gateway can increase the throughput even more by using twice as much radio band, yielding speeds far faster than standard Wireless-G. But 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. In congested areas, the "good neighbor" mode ensures that the router checks for other wireless devices in the area before gobbling up the radio band.

The Gateway protects your data and privacy with up to 256-bit industrial-strength encryption and 802.1x authentication and authorization. It also has a powerful SPI firewall to protect your computers against intruders and most known Internet attacks. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility.

With the Linksys Wireless-N ADSL2+ Gateway at the heart of your network, you're connected to the future.

Careful if you need Vista 64 bit drivers - no such drivers were available although some may have been released but do check before buying ...............

Quote from Ebuyer:

I read the USB adapter (wusb300n) was not compatible with vista x64 but the drivers that came with it loaded fine just connect the adapter then when prompted by vista to search for drivers insert the CD and vista would find them and install it definately a bargain.

Sounds positve and assuming that other forum postings back up the ebuyer comments then these issues seem to have been resolved..........

Got this setup a couple of months ago from ebuyer similar price.

The wusb300n drivers are a complete joke as in do not work. They only intermitantly allow data though. Tested with another usb adapter on same system and OK. So I rma the wusb300n back to linksys in Europe and got a remanufactored one back and it still only intermitantly allowed data though. After much searching of linksys forum found for XP u have to use the marvel driver from windows update. More here + vista:

http://forums.linksysbycisco.com/lin...hread.id=10108

This is a 2-3 year old card and its shiped with drivers that do not work - very unimpresed with linksys. As the card is so old I doute it will work with w7.

Good luck
