Review summary |
With a fair price, decent performance, and dead-simple setup, the SMC SMCWGBR14-N Barricade N router is about as well-rounded a Draft N router as you'll find. It also boasts impressive range and a smart design. We strongly recommend it for general home use.
|
Motorola's SBG1000 has all the right connections to create a flexible, powerful, and reasonably secure network in your home or small business.
|
Buffalo's kit is great for large homes or offices that need a wireless network with room to grow and range to spare.
|
If you're looking for a router with great range, this is it.
|
If you need a way to connect your 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g adapters with Ethernet, the Linksys WRT55AG is the best solution to date.
