Reviews of the Edimax BR-6504n nMax Wireless 802.11n Broadband Router

CNET Review
The Good: Sleek design; excellent throughput, particularly in mixed environments; intuitive Web-based interface; bountiful wireless networking and security options; supports an antenna extender; two-year warranty.
The Bad: Range could be better; no Gigabit Ethernet.
The Bottom Line: It's cheap, easy to set up, and delivers more than acceptable performance at shorter ranges. We like the sleek, white Edimax BR-6504N router, particularly for networks with a mix of Draft N and older 802.11b/g clients.
