Electric Rain Swift 3D 4.5

Electric Rain Swift 3D 5

By Michael Burns (Digital Arts Magazine)

Mesh Morphing, a standout feature, animates deformations to the vertices of a solid mesh; a video safe area

Settings such as Mesh Morpher animations, Environment and Background Color aren't maintained in this upgrade

Electric Rain Swift 3D 5 is an interesting upgrade for a unique tool with 3DS export and animation enhancements.

SonicWALL PRO 5060c

SonicWall PRO 5060

By Joel Snyder (Network World (US online))

Excellent antivirus scanner, advanced security features

Restrictions in the core architecture such as the inability to scan outbound HTTP traffic

SonicWall, like some other vendors in this space, is teetering between the SMB market and a desire to spread into the high-end enterprise firewall business. After testing the SonicWall PRO 5060, it is clear that some businesses will find this a good fit f...

Belkin N1 Vision

Belkin N1 Vision Wireless Router

By Becky Waring (PC World (US online))

Superb range, allows you to set-up second-guest network

Below average speed, no 802.11n-only mode

With a firmware update to support 802.11n-only mode and better throughput, along with a modest price cut, the N1 Vision would be almost 20-20.

D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router

D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router (DIR-655)

By Elias Plastiras (PC World)

Its 802.11 draft-n performance was fast, we didn't have to fiddle with the default settings in order to get smooth wireless networking performance, it performed well when 802.11g and 802.11 draft-n clients were connected simultaneously

It doesn't have print or file server functions built in, its Web interface could be a little better, it could use more comprehensive keyword filtering options

All up, we didn't have to fiddle with this router's settings at all, apart from entering our Internet and wireless connectivity details. It distributed our Internet connection and streamed multimedia files to various wireless clients without any problems,...

Linksys WAG325N

Linksys WAG325N

By Jason Wilson (PC World)

Good wireless distance, easy wireless setup

No line splitter included, slow wireless transfer speeds, difficult ADSL2+ setup

For users just wanting to connect to the Internet, the WAG325N may be overkill for the price, but if you also want to integrate with your wireless network -- especially if streaming media is a requirement -- then this router/modem could be worth a closer...

D-Link SecureSpot DSD-150

D-Link SecureSpot DSD-150

By Elias Plastiras (PC World)

Blocks unwanted sites, pop-up windows and Web advertisements; comes with a 1-year McAfee anti-virus subscription for up to four users, has a spam filter that can be used for POP3 email programs, comprehensive security logs, can store and encrypt personal...

It's a little cumbersome to set up, its 'Parental' filters are too broad, it's not fully compatible with Windows Vista yet, Windows Live Messenger was unable to connect

In the end, the SecureSpot was satisfactory at performing its intended duty, but it did require a bit of fiddling in order to provide us with a smooth Web browsing experience. However, if time is dedicated to set it up correctly, it's definitely a conveni...

Linksys Wireless-N Home Router

Linksys WRT150N

By Elias Plastiras (PC World)

Fast 802.11g speed, well-priced, URL and keyword filtering, SPI firewall enabled by default, ran cool during our tests

Slower-than-expected 802.11 draft-n performance, Web interface sluggish at times, Web interface doesn't have a 'restart' setting, lacks QoS settings

The WRT150N delivers plenty of features at a competitive price-point. Its 802.11 draft-n networking is slow, but its 802.11g performance is excellent. It ran cool during our tests, was easy to set up and use, but its Web interface is sluggish at times.

Belkin N1 Wireless Router

Belkin N1 Wireless Modem Router

By Elias Plastiras (PC World)

Easy to install, 802.11n worked well

Lacks flexible content filtering features, doesn't have QoS

It proved to be a solid unit throughout our test period and we don't have any reservations recommending it if you're in the market for an ADSL2+ router with fast wireless networking capabilities.

Trendnet TEW-429UB

Works perfectly, Easy to use

Bundled software a little confusing

The TEW-429UB works well and the added hotspot detector function is supremely useful.
