Reviews

Billion BiPAC 7300N Draft 802.11n ADSL2+/Broadband Router

It's not much of a looker, and it struggles in signal strength, but Billion's 7300N ADSL2+ Modem/Router has grunt where it really counts.
WiFi-Tech WTAP2400

The WTAP2400 works well enough as a basic wireless access point -- with an accent on the basic.
Apple MacBook (White, 2.16GHz)

The latest MacBook looks identical to the old model but benefits from faster components. As a result, it's even better value for money.
Linksys WAG325N

Linksys' integrated ADSL2+ modem and Draft-N wireless router gets a lot of things right - including excellent signal propagation - but still doesn't live up to the Draft-N speed hype.
Palm Treo 750

A bevy of OS enhancements and access to Telstra's Next G mobile broadband network easily make the Treo 750 the best Windows Mobile device we've ever used.
BigPond Next G Wireless Broadband USB Mobile Card

Telstra's Next G USB modem pushes the wireless broadband needle past 2Mbps, making it a better choice than its sibling PC Card in most (but not all) situations.
BigPond Next G Wireless Broadband Mobile Card

Fancy a 1.3Mbps broadband pipeline direct to your notebook, without a cable in sight? The new BigPond wireless data card makes good on Telstra's lofty promises for its Next G network.
Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G HSDPA Card

Vodafone's enhanced notebook PC Card delivers what the mobile telco calls 'business class 3G broadband' — but until more of the 3G network is upgraded with HSDPA, most users will remain stuck in economy seats.
