Draytek Vigor 2820Vn

More than your average internet router

Multiple Wan interfaces for load balancing and failover ; 802.11n Wifi ; hardware VPN server ; optional VoIP support

Management interface not as intuitive as some

Offers a lot of really useful features of value to the small business, which aren't found on most other internet routers

Linksys WAG160N

A stylish exterior, but the interface needs a refresh

Stylish and compact design ; easy to install ; price

No Gigabit switch ; interface could be better

No Gigabit Lan and the interface could be better, but at this price it's a decent entry-level Draft N router

Billion Bipac 7402GX

Billion Bipac 7402GX

By Will Stapley

A router with 3G backup if your ADSL goes down

Separate USB modem required for 3G ; expensive

D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Wireless Router

Draft-N router with four Gigabit Lan ports

Fast wireless ; Gigabit Ethernet ; rapid set-up

Questionable styling ; blue LEDs are horrendous

Easy to set up and did well in our performance tests, but we're not so sure about the physical design
