  • 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)

  • 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.
