The Linksys WRT160N/WRT310N series is the successor to the WRT54G series of routers from Linksys. The main difference being the draft 802.11n wireless NIC, providing a maximum speed of 270Mbit/s over the wireless network when used with other 802.11n devices. Similar to the Linksys WRT54G series, these routers have a Linux-based operating system.
