The Linksys WRT160N/WRT310N series is the successor to the WRT54G series of routers from Linksys. The main difference is 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 and several versions accept the DD-WRT firmware.[1]

Specifications and versions

WRT100

802.11g MIMO router with 100 Mbit/s switches

Version CPU speed RAM Flash memory Radio S/N Prefix Notes
1.0 Ralink RT2880 based MIPS32 system with RT2720L radio, ? MHz [1] ? 4 MB 2.4 GHz ? No DD-WRT or Sveasoft support because of the Ralink chipset. The specifications for this chipset classify it as supporting Draft-N, though Linksys documentation says that it is only a Wireless-G model that works with Wireless-N.

WRT110

802.11g MIMO router with 100 Mbit/s switches

Version CPU speed RAM Flash memory Radio S/N Prefix Notes
1.0 Ralink RT2780F chipset with RT2720L as transceiver: 1 transmit, 2 receive (1T2R) @ ? MHz 16 MB 4 MB 2.4 GHz MSU0 No DD-WRT or Sveasoft support because of the Ralink chipset. The specifications for this chipset classify it as supporting Draft-N, though Linksys documentation says that it is only a Wireless-G model that works with Wireless-N. Also, factory router configuration and firmware have Wireless-N capabilities and user-configurable options.

WRT120N

150Mbps N router, so not up to real N speeds, with 100 Mbit/s switches

Version CPU speed RAM Flash memory Radio S/N Prefix Notes
1.0 Atheros AR7240-AH1E @ 400 MHz and AR9285-AL1E 32 MB 2 MB 2.4 GHz ? Not really an N router!

2.0 Ralink 16MB 4MB 2.4 GHz CSE11 DD-WRT currently does not support with this model. Linux drivers for Ralink chips are still in development due to licensing issues.

Firmware 2.0.02 build 11 for these routers is reported to have problems with resolving DNS for wired and wireless clients. Either revert back to 2.0.02 build 8 or up to 2.0.03 build 7[2] This may be a result of the reduced RAM.
