Moving on to wireless features, the E3000 defaults to 20 MHz bandwidth mode for both the 2.4 and 5 GHz band radios and to using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) for automatic wireless setup. I was able to mount, read and write to a FAT-formatted drive and got 5.7 MB/s write and 4.8 MB/s read. I still could not get an NTFS-formatted drive to work and the Storage > Disk tab even reported its File System as *. The one difference I found is that you can now set the Windows Workgroup name (default is Workgroup). The Storage features are described pretty well in the WRT600N review, so I won’t repeat them here. The last bullet bears a bit more coverage.
SMB/CIFS file sharing, FTP access and UPnP AV media serving from attached FAT-formatted drive.WMM (Wireless MultiMedia) (enabled by default).Uplink (LAN to WAN) only QoS with High, Medium, Normal or Low Priority that can be applied to specific applications (divided into Application, Online Game and Voice Device groups), physical switch ports or specific MAC addresses.Access Restrictions with 10 deny or allow-based policies, each with its own list of clients and day/time schedule.Incoming, outgoing, Security and DHCP onscreen log access with support for Linksys Logviewer recording.HTTPS admin access, remote management (HTTP / HTTPS) enable with IP range restriction and port setting.Single port forwarding and Port Range forwarding and triggered ports.IPsec, PPTP and L2TP VPN passthrough (enabled by default).SPI firewall disable, multicast, WAN ping and IDENT filtering and Proxy, Java, ActiveX and Cooking blocking.Built-in Dynamic DNS clients for TZO and DynDNS.DHCP, Static, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, Telstra Cable WAN types.Here’s a feature summary if you’re really in a hurry: You can find admin interface screenshots in the WRT600N review, or just download the user manual. The E3000’s feature set is essentially unchanged from the WRT610N and the WRT600N before it. The USB Storage feature can also serve up media files via a UPnP AV (but not DLNA) media server. In the E3000’s case, it’s a WRT610N V2 with a new name and a bundle of the Cisco Connect ( details here) easy installation software (on CD, not flash drive) thown in.įor those completely unfamiliar with Cisco’s top-of-line N router, it’s a dual-band simultaneous (two radio) design with Gigabit Ethernet ports and a USB port that can share a USB drive via SMB / CIFS or FTP. As I detailed in Inside Story: Linksys E-series and Cisco Valet, the “new” routers are all rebrands of the old line. Bundled easy setup utility that works wellīy now, you should know that Cisco has thrown out its entire consumer wireless line and replaced it with Valet and Linksys branded offerings.Introduction Updated : Corrected component info and routing performance commentĬisco Linksys E3000 High Performance Wireless-N Router ( E3000)īroadcom-based dual-band, dual-radio N router with Gigabit ports and USB drive sharing and media serving.
