Reviews

  • Virgin Mobile Broadband WiFi modem

    This WiFi modem/router works well and provides great value on some plans, but we're still left wanting better performance out of Virgin Mobile's actual broadband.

  • Mophie Juice Pack Air

    It costs a pretty penny, but for people who need more juice in their iPhone, the Juice Pack Air is worth every cent.

  • Edimax nLite 3G-6200n 3G Broadband Router

    Edimax's nLite 3G-capable router might sucker you in with a bargain price point, but you'll pay a hefty frustration price along the way.

  • Nokia 3G Booklet

    After years of calling its phones "multimedia computers", Nokia finally launches a real one.

  • Virgin VMX

    The VMX is a phone with many shortcomings, but most of these are outweighed by the AU$99 price tag. For most people who just need the basics, the VMX will do the trick.

  • Optus E1762 USB Modem

    The hardware performs its part of the equation just fine, but if you're considering Optus' wireless broadband make sure you take advantage of its seven-day trial period.

  • Linksys WRT160N Wireless-N broadband router

    The Linksys WRT160N Wireless-N broadband router has consistent performance, good range, a helpful software application, and a good set of networking features. Its lack of gigabit and USB support are the only major knocks against it.

  • NetComm 3G18Wn 3G USB 11n Wi-Fi Router

    The 3G18Wn provides good 802.11n performance, 3G USB modem compatibility and a great fall-back position for those using both wireless and wired internet connections.
