Our take on the Linksys® by Cisco WET610N

by Tara W.

The Linksys by Cisco Wireless-N Ethernet Bridge is a convenient hookup option for audio/video gear with an Ethernet port but no built-in wireless capability. This bridge hooks up to a component's Ethernet jack using the supplied cable and makes a wireless connection to your network. It's designed for glitch-free performance with high-bandwidth applications, such as streaming video. And this bridge is compatible with the latest wireless standard, "Wireless-N," which offers greater range and speed than previous standards.

Note: This Bridge lets you connect gear with a wired Ethernet port to your wireless home network, but it won't give you full access to the Internet the way a computer does. Networking capabilities will depend on the TV, Blu-ray player, or other component that you connect to the Bridge. See specific models for details.

Features

Overview: The LinkSys by Cisco WET610N Wireless-N Ethernet Bridge with Dual-Band allows you to connect a wired Ethernet device to your wireless network. It is based on dual-band Wireless-N, so it is compatible with any Wireless-N, -G, -A, or -B router or access point. It is optimized for streaming video to reduce glitches and dropouts. It is also ideal for wirelessly sharing music, photos, movies and other files around the home. Three internal antennas are built into the Bridge.

Driverless: The Wireless-N Ethernet Bridge works without drivers on Windows, Mac, Linux, game consoles, or anything with an Ethernet port. Since there are no drivers to load, you can configure the network settings through your PC's web browser, and then plug it into your device.

Wireless Security: The WET610N supports the following wireless security options:

  • WPA or WPA2 Personal: Wi-Fi Protected Access
  • WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy

LED Panel: On one side of the Bridge are several LEDs to indicate the status of the unit:

  • Wireless: The blue Wireless LED lights when there is a wireless connection, and flashes when there is activity along the wireless network.
  • Wi-Fi Protected Setup: If your router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup, the LED flashes blue for two minutes during setup, and lights blue when security is enabled. An amber LED indicates an error occurred during the setup process.
  • Ethernet: The Ethernet LED lights blue when there's a wired connection, and flashes when the Bridge is actively sending or receiving data over the Ethernet port.
  • Power: The blue power LED lights up when the Bridge is powered on.

Ports Panel: On the side opposite the LED panel is the Ports Panel with one Ethernet connection (RJ45) for connecting the Bridge to a computer or other Ethernet network device, and a power port for the supplied AC adapter.

Minimum Requirements: The minimum requirements for the WET610N are:

  • Device with Ethernet port
  • Wireless Access Point or Router (802.11g, 802.11b, 802.11a, or draft 802.11n compliant)
  • Internet Explorer 6 or Firefox 2 or higher for browser-based configuration
  • PC with CD-ROM drive (for Setup Wizard only)
  • Setup Wizard requires Windows XP, Vista, or Vista 64-bit edition with latest updates
