  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.
