The TL-WR941ND wireless-n router is cheap and has enterprise-level threat-management features, but novice users will have problems with its spartan interface.

Inexpensive. Simple, wizard-driven setup and configuration.

Uninformative interface. Mediocre throughput at short range.

The 300Mbps Wireless Easy-N-Upgrader upgrades your old, perfectly functioning router, to high speed wireless n. Enjoy up to 12 times the speed and 4 times the coverage of a wireless g network. Eliminate wireless dead spots, seamlessly surf the Internet an...

You'd be hard-pressed to find a true draft-n router for less than you can buy the Linksys Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Router (WRT160N). Linksys's own RangePlus Wireless Router (WRT110) may be $20 cheaper on the mean streets of Techtown, but it's not a true...

Good price. Supports WPS. Good Web-based management interface.

Somewhat slow even for a 2.4-GHz-only router. Buggy installation routine. No support for 5-GHz band. No Gigabit Ethernet or USB connections.

Thanks to a great price for a true draft-n router, the Linksys WRT160N is a good choice, as long as your home networking needs aren't too advanced.

Like SMC, Trendnet might not be the first name that comes to mind when you think wireless routers. You're more likely to think of bigger names like D-Link or Netgear. But (again like SMC), the company is doing fine and producing competitive wireless equip...

Nice price. Full-featured router management. Attractive case.

2.4-GHz band operation only. Buggy installation wizard.

This is a decent router, with a good software package. But before you can get to the software, you've got to get past the frustrating installation wizard. While it does "n" only in the 2.4-GHz band, performance is adequate, and it's available at a good pr...

It doesn't come cheap, but the D-Link Xtreme N Duo Media Router (DIR-855) offers the best performance and feature set we've seen to date.

Great wireless-n performance. Advanced management interface with QoS. Good parental controls. USB print sharing.

Buggy installation wizard. Pricey.

If the price doesn't put you off, you'll find that the DIR-855 makes an excellent home or business wireless-n router, thanks to loads of features and standout performance.

clients can run safely at 5 GHz while your b and g clients remain at 2.4 GHz. Add a full-featured Internet-sharing router and USB-based Storage Link and you've got a winner.

Solid performance. Full firewall and traffic management included. Simultaneous dual-band operation.

Advanced features are not so easy to use. Network hard drive performance with StorageLink USB is slow. Lacks print-server features.

Linksys makes the best of the bad "draft-n at 2.4 GHz" situation by having the only router here that can operate in the lower band and 5 GHz simultaneously. That means your n clients can run safely at 5 GHz while your b and g clients remain at 2.4 GHz. Ad...

ViaTalk is SunRocket's heir apparent, but the company needs to do something about its woeful service and support.

Very affordable. Tons of features, including call recording and broadcasting. Attractive, easy-to-use online control panel. Active user forums.

Terrible customer service. No choice of phone numbers (unless you're porting your old one). Low call volume. Annoying delay after dialing a number. Static during heavy file uploading. E-911 service costs extra. RSS voice-mail feature didn't work.

Dismal service and support make this otherwise solid Internet phone company difficult to recommend.

If you can afford it (and aren't scared off by the name), you'll get fast, easily configured wireless with the Buffalo Wireless-N Nfiniti Dual Band Gigabit Router & Access Point, WZR-AG300NH.

Can operate in 5.0- or 2.4-GHz bands. Great performance at 5.0 GHz. AOSS radically simplifies securing wireless access.

Expensive. Lacks QoS features.

Top-notch performance and great features in an incredibly easy-to-use—but expensive—package.

Consumers and even some smaller businesses on a tight budget could get basic features and reasonable wireless throughput from the Linksys WRT150N Wireless-N Home Router.

Lots of features. Easy to use.

No Gigabit. Limited top-end speed.

This router combines good speed, an easy-to-use interface, and a low price, making it a good choice for value-conscious consumers and smaller businesses.

If a complicated management interface doesn't faze you, you can get great features and fast connections at a low cost with the D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router (DIR-655).

Fast (thanks to Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports) and feature-rich.

Confusing Web administration interface.

This fast wireless router comes with Gigabit LAN ports and has many features, including QoS monitoring, but the complex interface may intimidate some.
