Reviews of the SMC SMCWGBR14-N Barricade N router

CNET Review
The Good: Decent throughput; long range; compact and practical design; USB port for print serving; intuitive Web interface makes setup and maintenance a snap; while not exactly lifetime, the warranty is generous.
The Bad: USB port is on the front, no support for 5.0Ghz frequency.
The Bottom Line: With a fair price, decent performance, and dead-simple setup, the SMC SMCWGBR14-N Barricade N router is about as well-rounded a Draft N router as you'll find. It also boasts impressive range and a smart design. We strongly recommend it for general home use.
