The new LinkSys Wireless Media Storage Router is really innovative; it features literally four types of devices in one piece of electronics.

-It is a wireless Access point gateway, to connect to Wireless G (802.11g) and Wireless B (802.11b), as well as other backward compatible types of WiFi coverage.
-It is a hard wired up to four port full duplex 10/100 standard style router switch, which allows any devices you wish to hardwire into the router setup access to your broadband coverage.
-It is a router, tying it all together, you can have either DSL input or standard broadband cable modem access input coverage.
-And additionally it has “On Device” storage, which can be expanded using a USB flash drive, or USB type storage connection.

The reason that this is a different kind of router is the storage.  In a nutshell, most wireless access points do not feature on device storage.  This in effect allows you to share and store information that can be accessible to any of the users of your Wireless or wired WiFi Internet access.  This is fantastic to help share information easily and swiftly between users.

The Linksys Wireless Media Storage Router features a push button style setup, and it makes setup a breeze.  Just push a single button on the router and it will “seek” electronically any devices within range, and make connection with them.   It has the standard 128-bit industrial strength data protection and encryption, along with WPA WiFi protected style access.

With its built in SPI firewall, it will also help protect you against many of the internet style attacks that some hackers or attackers allow to get in, potentially ruining your system or giving it a virus.
