The hottest part was a plastic strip running underneath the bottom with information like the serial number printed on it. There are air vents at the bottom and running underneath the lip of the top chassis, so the hardware should be protected. Other than the range, my only other issue is how hot a portion of the bottom of the router got after leaving it up for a day and half.

You are still getting excellent throughput at longer distances, however, so this is not a big issue. I was a bit disappointed with the range-throughput dropped 7 percent as I moved from 5 to 30 feet-just a little more than the E3200's which has a drop of only 4 percent. The E4200 v2 is a speedy performer, only bested by Netgear's latest dual-bands. That has to be done through the advanced settings interface. The only management you can't do it from it is work with devices connected to the USB port.

You can read the full description of features in the Cisco Linksys E3200 review. The features are the same as in latest E-series routers. For more on which of the most popular wireless devices connected to which bands, check out The Wi-Fi You Need For The Gadgets You Want. I prefer to distinguish the 5 GHz band by denoting it as '-5' because this makes it easier for me to select which devices should access which band for myself. This way, wireless devices will typically select the most appropriate band, which is fine for those who don't want to deal with the underbelly of networking. Not only that, but after configuring, my laptop was connected to the newly created wireless network without requiring me to do anything.Д«y default, the router gives both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands the same SSID. The router sets up SSIDs, security and other preliminary configurations. During setup, I ensured the laptop I was using wasn't connected to the Internet via one of the many WLANs in proximity. You need no wired connection to get the E4200 v2 set up. Setup takes only a couple of minutes and does not require anything more than a computer with a working wireless adapter. The setup process is fantastic: the best we've ever seen.

The processor has been upgraded from 533 MHz from the previous E4200 to 1.2 Ghz which results in faster copy and file transferring to and from a connected USB storage device. The E4200 v2 has four Gigabit Ethernet ports, and a USB port for connecting printers and external storage. Six internal antennas along with internal and external amplifiers help the router keep good throughput at range-although not as consistent as that of Netgear's N750 and N900 routers. This is achieved by 3x3 spatial stream MIMO antenna arrays for both bands. The E4200 v2 is Cisco Linksys' first router to provide throughput of up to 450 Mbps on both the 2.4- and 5-GHz bands.
