D-Link DIR-615 Wireless N Router

D-Link Wireless N Router DIR-615 review: 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.

Decent Wireless-N performance at a very affordable price • Responsive and intuitive web interface

Lacks gigabit Ethernet and USB ports • Throughput speed and range could be better

Asus RT-N16

Asus RT-N16 Wireless Router review: Asus' high-end wireless router has plenty of throughput grunt, but we do wish the company would offer better support documentation.

Gigabit ports • Supports USB storage and printer sharing • Excellent throughput and signal

Terrible visual design • Support documentation is once more MIA, rendering some functions useless

D-Link Xtreme N Storage Router DIR-685

d-link xtreme n storage router dir-685 review: 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.

Fast wireless performance • Built-in network storage • Photo frame • A comprehensive set of networking features • Its web interface is responsive and intuitive ;

Single-band router that's more expensive than most, if not all, true dual-band routers • Front panel LCD/photo frame is too small • Network storage performance is slow • Doesn't include a hard drive ;

Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router WRT320N

linksys dual-band wireless-n gigabit router wrt320n review: 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.

Good performance ; Compact and sleek design ; Gigabit Ethernet ; Helpful web-interface and software application ; Easy to switch between bands ; Comprehensive set of networking features

Only works in either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band at once ; No USB support

D-Link DIR-855 Xtreme N Duo Media Router

d-link xtreme n duo media router dir-855 review: 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.

True dual-band, Great throughput performance, Intuitive and responsive browser interface, Gigabit LAN and WAN, Easy to set up, Supports separate wireless networks for guests, Network activity display offers quick access to a variety of network ...

Middling range, Confusing network activity display, Bulky design, No print-serving or NAS functionality

The D-Link Xtreme N Duo Media Router DIR-855 is a stable performer with an excellent Web interface. The bulky, old school design and short range may deter some, however.

Linksys WAG160N

linksys wag160n wireless-n adsl2+ gateway review: Linksys' WAG160N resides in an attractive package, and manages better than most Wireless N routers. Better than most, but still nowhere near the hype.

Decent throughput, Stylish design, LELA for Windows

No gigabit ethernet, Wireless N refuses to live up to the hype -- again!

Linksys' WAG160N resides in an attractive package, and manages better than most Wireless N routers. Better than most, but still nowhere near the hype.
