E4200

A three-stream simultaneous dual-band gigabit model targeted for "high performance wireless entertainment"http://homestore.cisco.com/en-us/Routers/Linksys-E4200-MaximumPerformance-Wirelessn-router_stcVVproductId122703236VVcatId551966VVviewprod.htm, with a rated maximum throughput of 450 Mbit/s. This model also includes a USB port for storage, UPnP media streaming or a print server
Print server
A print server, or printer server, is a device that connects printers to client computers over a network. It can accept print jobs from the computers and send the jobs to the appropriate printers....

. Further details of the E4200's hardware are still unknown.

The E4200 also marks the first radical change in design of the Linksys series since Cisco launched the winged "spaceship" design first seen on the WRT400N. The E4200 features a minimalistic, streamlined design with no LEDs, labels or buttons visible on the front or top of the device. All traffic activity LEDs and buttons have been relocated to the rear of the device.

A special system menu can be accessed by browsing to http://ip_address_of_e4200/System.asp. This menu shows all kinds of system statistics and settings. No settings can be changed from this menu.

In previous Tomato builds, (a popular 3rd-party firmware for Linksys/Cisco routers) only the 2.4 GHz radio was properly supported. However, simultaneous dual-band radio can now be achieved using Toastman's 1.28.0485.2-BETA build which uses Teddy Bear's integration of a new wireless driver.
