Reviews

  • D-Link Wireless N Router DIR-615

    At a very affordable price, the D-Link Wireless N Router DIR-615 makes a great entry-level Wireless-N router and would satisfy most situations where a wireless network is needed.

  • Asus RT-N16 Wireless Router

    Asus' high-end wireless router has plenty of throughput grunt, but we do wish the company would offer better support documentation.

  • D-Link Xtreme N Storage Router DIR-685

    The D-Link Xtreme N Storage Router DIR-685 is a very good single-band Wireless-N router; however, its extra features hardly justify the price.

  • D-Link DSM-210 10-inch Wireless Internet Photo Frame

    D-Link's wireless enabled photo frame tries to be all things to all people. What it ends up being is pretty awful.

  • Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router WRT320N

    The Linksys WRT320N forces you to pick either the 2.4GHz or the 5GHz band for your wireless network. Given that, it's not an ideal choice for an environment with both types of wireless clients.

  • WD ShareSpace

    The WD ShareSpace NAS is a step up from the company's World Edition and while it performs well it's expensive and offers few features.

  • D-Link Xtreme N Duo Media Router DIR-855

    The D-Link Xtreme N Duo Media Router DIR-855 is a stable performer with an excellent Web interface — you may want to wait for a price drop though.

  • Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router

    Aside from its potentially worrisome heat output, the Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router is a networking dynamo with chart-topping performance and a sleek (maybe too sleek) design.

  • Four far-reaching routers

    If you're lucky enough to have a palatial abode, you'll need a router that can cast a far-reaching network so that you can be connected in the most remote corners of your home.

  • 2004's fastest routers

    Progress marches on and so do the capabilities of wireless networking. 2004 saw the advent of 802.11g routers with turbo modes that you can use to boost your throughput and increase your range.
