Review
if you want a wireless router that can work on the two radio band 2.4Ghz and 5 Ghz simultaneously , the Linksys WRT400N can do this effectively .
except the lack of USB port and Gigabit Ethernet ports , the router include the same features as the Linksys WRT610N that costs 20$ more than Linksys WRT400N ,
so if you use a wired connection or you want an USB port for connecting a storage device and share its content over the network , i recommend to check the Linksys WRT610N , otherwise , Linksys WRT400N seems to be a great choice .
PROS:
- Draft 802.11n : Linksys WRT400N is compatible with 802.11n Draft standard which uses MIMO(Multiple Input, Multiple Output) offers significant increases in data throughput and link range without additional bandwidth or transmit power
- Simultaneous Dual Band : dual band technology in the Linksys WRT400N supports 2.4GHz & 5GHz wireless signals at the same time . This allow you to Web browsing using the 2.4GHz band while simultaneously streaming High-Definition (HD) movies and Online gaming on the 5GHz band , Note that you have greater speed and less ping when using The 5Ghz band but also the signal strength is less than the 2.4Ghz frequency
- Advanced content Filtering system which allow you to filter Internet access for certain computer like blocking some websites and more other options
- Wi-Fi Protected Setup(WPS) let you connect to the network without entering the SSID or the password , you can do this by simply pushing a button
- Great Design and ease Of install
CONS:
- A bit expensive
- No USB port
- No Gigabit Ethernet speed

Review:
the good is that My download speeds increased by about 6mbps with wrt400n.
but Sometimes the connection starts to die out and you have to reboot the router to make it work again.
Nice dual band router the Web
Nice dual band router
the Web interface is easy enough for those who have some familiarity with wireless routers , great features such as access restrictions and push button security
what i didn't like in the wrt400n is the signal on 5GHz band for long range , it could be better
