Cisco Connect the included software allows easy installation (three stages) provides network management tools such as parental controls and guest access.

    The six antennas (both internal and external) should be more efficient in larger homes and can reach up to 450Mbps to 300Mbps at 5GHz or 2.4GHz. The cost is $ 180 and will be released in the coming months. It only has four Gigabit Ethernet ports: we would have preferred that he had had eight.

Inside, no less than six antennas to broadcast a signal that will serve to establish a Wi-Fi standard choice for the 802.11b/g/n.
