Reviews

  • Linksys WRT150N Wireless-N Home Router

    The Linksys WRT150N is a great router option for those who want the range improvement of 11N but don't need the other features — or the steep price tag.

  • Linksys WPC300N

    Solid maximum throughput is not nearly enough to make us recommend the Draft N-based Linksys WPC300N. Sit tight to see how the other Draft N gear fares.

  • Linksys WRT300N

    Though it offers good maximum throughput, the Linksys WRT300N ultimately fails to do the new Draft N standard proud in both mixed-mode and long-range tests. Wait to see how the rest of the Draft N products fare.

  • Belkin Wireless-G Travel Router

    The Belkin Wireless-G Travel Router combines great design and support, a low price, and decent performance, making it an obvious choice for business travellers who need Wi-Fi connectivity.

  • Netgear WPNT511 RangeMax 240

    If your priorities don't include long-range connectivity, then by all means get the somewhat ironically named Netgear WPNT511 RangeMax 240 wireless notebook adaptor for its record-breaking short-range speeds.

  • Netgear WPNT834 RangeMax 240

    Though the Netgear WPNT834 RangeMax 240 provides phenomenal throughput at short range, it doesn't deliver on MIMO's promise of fantastic long-range performance.

  • Netgear WPN511 RangeMax

    The Netgear WPN511 offers outstanding speed when used with its router counterpart, the WPN824, but its performance suffers in mixed-mode environments.

  • Belkin Pre-N PC Card

    When paired with its Pre-N router counterpart, Belkin's new MIMO-enabled PC Card adapter is the best performing adapter we've seen to date.
