CNET Review
The Good: Striking design; easy-to-use setup
The Bad: Terrible throughput speeds; short range; no Gigabit Ethernet
The Bottom Line: We wanted to like this funky-looking router, but the LevelOne N_One WBR-6000 performed so horribly in testing that we must warn you not to be tempted by its slick design and low price.
Manufacturer: Digital Data Communications
Part number: WBR-6000
