Find The Right Routers

Linksys WRT160N Wireless-N broadband router (Canadian)

The Linksys WRT160N Wireless-N broadband router has consistent performance, good range, a helpful software application, and a good set of networking features. Its lack of Gigabit and USB support are the only major knocks against it.

Specs: Wireless router, 8 in x 6.3 in x 1.3 in, Wired, Wireless, Ethernet, HTTP, External, 2.4 GHz, 13.4 oz

Linksys WRT160N

The Linksys WRT160N Wireless-N broadband router has consistent performance, good range, a helpful software application, and a good set of networking features. Its lack of Gigabit and USB support are the only major knocks against it.

Specs: Wireless router, 8 in x 6.3 in x 1.3 in, Wired, Wireless, Ethernet, HTTP, full-duplex, External, 2.4 GHz, 9.9 oz

Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router WRT320N

The Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router WRT320N forces you to pick either the 2.4GHz or the 5GHz band for your wireless network. Given that, it's not an ideal choice for an environment with both types of wireless clients. The router offers good wireless performance and features a high-speed wired network that caps at 1,000Mbps.

Specs: Wireless router, 8 in x 6.3 in x 1.3 in, Wired, Wireless, Ethernet, HTTP, External, 10.6 oz

Linksys WRT400N Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Router

The Linksys WRT400N Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router is a good option for your wireless network, thanks to its support of both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands, its helpful software application, and a good set of networking features. The router's unimpressive 5Ghz throughput speed and lack of Gigabit and USB support are the only major knocks against it.

Specs: Wireless router, 8.1 in x 6.3 in x 1.4 in, Wired, Wireless, Ethernet, HTTP, HTTPS, External, 16.2 oz

Linksys WRT610N Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router

The WRT610N can satisfy both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wireless clients with its solid performance, great design, ease of use, and its ability to work as a network storage device when coupled with an external hard drive.

Specs: Wireless router, 8.9 in x 7.1 in x 1.4 in, Wired, Wireless, Ethernet, HTTP, HTTPS, External, 15.9 oz

Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router

Aside from its potentially worrisome heat output, the Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router is a networking dynamo with chart-topping performance and a sleek (maybe too sleek) design.

Specs: Wireless router, 8 in x 6.3 in x 1.3 in, Wired, Wireless, Ethernet, HTTP, full-duplex, External, 2.4 GHz, 12 oz

Linksys WRT110 RangePlus Wireless Router

The Linksys WRT110 RangePlus is an unconventional and stylish wireless router that supplies near draft 802.11n throughput without being an official Draft N router. We like this affordable, antenna-free router for networks where Wireless-G and Wireless-N clients coexist.

Specs: Wireless router, 6.7 in x 5.8 in x 1.4 in, Wired, Wireless, Ethernet, HTTP, HTTPS, External, 2.4 GHz, 11.8 oz

Linksys WRT54GX4 with SRX400

If you have to have the fastest short-range router immediately, the WRT54GX4 is a good choice. But if you need a good long-range or mixed-mode performer, you're better off looking at the Belkin Pre-N router (the long-range champ).

Specs: 5.5 in x 1.4 in x 5.5 in, Wired, Wireless, 240 Mbps, Ethernet, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, Fast Ethernet, Ethernet, SNMP, HTTPS, IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, Full-duplex, External, DMZ port, DHCP support, VPN passthrough, Firewall protection, MAC address filtering, Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), 2.4 GHz, 0.9 lbs

Linksys WRT300N Router

Though it offers good maximum throughput, the Linksys WRT300N ultimately fails to do the new Draft N standard proud in both mixed-mode and long-range tests. Wait to see how the rest of the Draft N products fare.

Specs: Wireless router, 7.4 in x 1.6 in x 6.9 in, Wired, Wireless, Ethernet, HTTP, HTTPS, External, 2.4 GHz, 1.1 lbs

Linksys WRT54GX2 Wireless-G router with SRX200

If you don't need extended range from a router, the Linksys WRT54GX2 is a good choice if you want to take advantage of MIMO technology but can't afford the hefty price. Still, Belkin offers a better performer that costs less.

Specs: 6.4 in x 1.6 in x 6.4 in, Wired, Wireless, 108 Mbps, Ethernet, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, Fast Ethernet, Ethernet, IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.1x, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, Full-duplex, External, DDos attack prevention, Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), 2.4 GHz, 1.1 lbs

Linksys WRT54GX

The Linksys WRT54GX offers impressive performance, but Belkin's Pre-N router delivers more bang for the buck.

Specs: Wireless router, 6.4 in x 1.6 in x 6.4 in, Wired, Wireless, Ethernet, External, 1.1 lbs

Wireless-G VPN Broadband Router

The WRV54G puts the cart before the horse, providing lots of VPN tunnels without covering fundamental wireless-security bases.

Specs: Wireless router, 7.3 in x 6.9 in x 1.9 in, Wireless, 54 Mbps, Ethernet, HTTP, Full-duplex, External, 2.4 GHz, 1.1 lbs

Instant Broadband EtherFast Cable/DSL Firewall Router with 4-Port Switch/VPN EndPoint

The BEFSX41 is an affordable solution for those who need secure access to their home or office network via the Internet.

Specs: Wireless router, 7.3 in x 7.9 in x 1.9 in, Wired, Wireless, Ethernet, HTTP, Telnet, External, 2.4 GHz, 1.1 lbs

Dual-Band Wireless A+G Broadband Router

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.

Specs: Wireless router, 7.3 in x 6.9 in x 1.9 in, Wireless, 54 Mbps, Ethernet, SNMP, Full-duplex, External, 2.4 GHz, 0.9 lbs

Wireless-G Broadband Router

The low-cost Linksys WRT54G features fairly high throughput. But it has a relatively short operating range, and its poor performance with 802.11b devices makes claimed backward compatibility moot.

Specs: Wireless router, 7.3 in x 7.9 in x 1.9 in, Wired, Wireless, 54 Mbps, Ethernet, HTTP, Full-duplex, External, 2.4 GHz, 1.1 lbs

Wireless-B Broadband Router

The Linksys wireless router joins wireless and Ethernet networks with broadband in a well-designed, economical package for SOHO users, but a few flaws in documentation and security pull it up short of perfection.
