We initially thought that these routers were part of new E and M series networking lines from Cisco, however a tipster has informed us that these new routers are actually just rebranded Linksys routers with slightly different firmware.  According to our source, the most notable improvement on these routers is a simplified hotspot set-up process, suggesting that these routers will be targeted at SMBs, not consumers.

The hardware on the Cisco M and E series products correspond to their Linksys brethren as follows:

Cisco M10 shares the hardware of the Linksys WRT160Nv3
Cisco M20 shares the hardware of the Linksys WRT310Nv2
Cisco E2000 shares the hardware of the Linksys WRT320N
Cisco E3000 shares the hardware of the Linksys WRT610Nv2

Thanks to our tipster who sent this in.

Cisco Linksys has been busy on the FCC with their ‘E-Series’ lineup, but today the company passed a new router called the M10 through the FCC, possibly indicating yet another line of consumer-targeted routers.

The M10 offers 802.11 b/g/n at 2.4 GHz, with up to 150 Mbps throughput with wireless N.  Other than that, we don’t know much else about the device.  However, label pics above do show a pretty standard Cisco Linksys form factor and design.

No word on pricing or availability.

We saw two new routers from Cisco Linksys, the E3000 and E2000, on the FCC this week.  Cisco continued to pass “E-Series” products through the FCC today, with the E2100L Wireless-N router and AE1000 Wireless-N adapter.

With all these new networking products passing through the FCC, it certainly appears that Cisco Linksys is preparing to unveil a new line of wireless products.  The specs we’ve seen so far seem decent, and the AE1000 is a nice-looking adapter – hopefully we’ll get more information soon about this new lineup.

Based on label pics, the form factor of the E3000 and E2000 appear to be different.  The E3000’s label is a bit more rounded at the bottom than the E2000, although other that than, there’s not many other differences between the two devices.

Cisco Linksys passed the E3000 router, above, through the FCC today.  The E3000 is an 802.11 a/b/g/n router with a gigabit switch.  This is a dual-band Wireless N router, with support for 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands.

Cisco’s FCC filing doesn’t give us much information about the device, although the label pic above suggests that the E3000’s form factor is similar to Cisco’s existing Wireless N routers.  The E3000 model number doesn’t seem to fit within any of Cisco’s existing product lines, however.
