Reviews

Engin oneHub ST790

Engin's oneHub benefits from simplicity, but also suffers from it in comparison to other all-in-one router/VoIP solutions.
Edimax nMax AR-7265Wn Wireless 802.11n ADSL2/2+ modem router

Edimax's 802.11n router combines a perfect storm of poor throughput and unfriendly set-up routines to make a modem/router that's incredibly easy to pass by.
Linksys WAG160N Wireless-N ADSL2+ Gateway

Linksys' WAG160N resides in an attractive package, and manages better than most Wireless N routers. Better than most, but still nowhere near the hype.
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.
NetComm ADSL2+ Wireless Router (NB6Plus4W)

NetComm's NB6Plus4W offers good short range performance and management tools for a very reasonable price.
DrayTek Vigor2820n ADSL2+ Router

DrayTek's Vigor2820n offers a vast array of features, but you'll pay for them. Make sure you need everything it offers first!
Netgear RangeMax Next Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DG834N

The Netgear DG834N is a flexible and consistently performing draft-N modem with some excellent security features -- but you may baulk at the price.
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.
