  • D-Link RangeBooster N 650 Router (DIR-635)

    D-Link's DIR-635 router sports good performance and features at a reasonable price.

  • DrayTek Vigor2820n ADSL2+ Router

    DrayTek's Vigor2820n offers a vast array of features, but you'll pay for them. Make sure you need everything it offers first!

  • D-Link RangeBooster N 650 ADSL2+ Router (DSL-2740B)

    The DSL-2740B is a modem and router that offers a good balance between price and features, with a slightly shaky performance.

  • NetComm ADSL2+ Wireless Router (NB6Plus4W)

    NetComm's NB6Plus4W offers good short range performance and management tools for a very reasonable price.

  • Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router

    The Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router bears the same sleek, antenna-free design as its sibling the WRT160N, except features a four port gigabit switch. We are a little disappointed at the lack of a USB port, which means it can't act as a print server or easily facilitate network storage. It more than makes up for these lacking features, however, with excellent performance in CNET Labs' testing.
