Well as far as outgrowing the linksys router that really depends on what your doing behind it. Is this protecting a server? Is it just an internet cafe? Tell me a bit about the network environment however I'm going to assume this is at a place of business with a server or two in which case I would recommend upgrading to something a bit more robust offering a better firewall and possibly QOS.

I have 45 computers accessing the internet quite frequently during the day. &nbsp;We are currently using 1 Linksys Router to handle the traffic. &nbsp;Is there any technical data that shows that we have grown past linksys's capabilities or are we still ok with it?

Have we outgrown Linksys?

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
