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.
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.
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.
Netgear EVA9150

While the Netgear EVA9150 is far from perfect, it offers an easy way to access the widest array of digital audio, photo and video files for the do-it-yourself crowd.
NetComm NP201AV HomePlug

NetComm's redesigned its home plugs to make them somewhat easier to fit onto a plug socket — and significantly faster as well.
Meridian Sooloos Music Server

The Meridian Sooloos is a modular music server with an easy-to-use interface and one of the best Random modes we've seen. The downside? It's expensive.
Telstra T6

The T6 is the phone we never expected to see from Telstra. The price tag on the T6 is spot on for a phone with this feature set, and the Telstra Blue Tick should offer those in remote areas some peace of mind.
