There's a faster way to get on the internet from home, and sharing your connection just got easier.

Anyone who's ever had a teenager knows how tough it can be to share a phone line. That's a growing problem when it comes to the internet as well.

But there is a solution.

By some estimates almost a quarter of all households in the U.S. now have more than one computer. In many cases, the adults are working on stuff from the office or answering email while the kids might be playing online video games or surfing the net.

With all that activity even a high speed internet connection and home network can get jammed up like rush hour traffic.

Now, the latest in technology offers a simple solution.

The Linksys dual band wireless router is like adding another set of lanes on the highway: express lanes.

Historically, the first network routers required special wires with phone like connectors. In fact, TODAY’S TMJ4’s Scott Steele strung cable throughout his home so he could share computers, printers, and internet connections around the house.

Several years ago, though, wireless versions revolutionized the industry, making cables, in some settings virtually obsolete.

Early wireless was fine when the information flying through the air was simple and small. Now, the files we transfer back and forth are enormous. Multimedia, like full length movies and music are huge and content is only getting more complex.

The spaceship-looking device handles it all with ease. It features blazing fast speed enhancements including multiple signals which also boosts the range so you can be at a different end of the house or even the back yard without compromising performance.

One of the most impressive innovations is the ability to partition the different signals for different tasks. For instance, you can apportion the faster radio band for those videos and games and the other radio band for more basic tasks like email or simple file transfers.

At its core, it is a router, but several added features make it much more.

They've added something called storage link technology. This lets you plug extra hard drives right into the unit so everyone on the network can share extra space.

You can even access your files around the world over the internet.

Finally, there's an abundance of security features up to and exceeding current standards to keep your files safe.

There's also a built in a media server which lets you stream music, video, movies, and photos to properly equipped TV’s or stereos anywhere in the house.
