Routers

Belkin N1 Vision
The Belkin N1 Vision router makes great strides in user-friendliness, but drops the ball when it comes to performance.
Specs: IEEE 802.11b, Gigabit Ethernet, Ethernet, IEEE 802.11n (draft), IEEE 802.11g, Fast Ethernet, 300 Mbps

D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router
The D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router is the fastest we've seen, but we're still reluctant to recommend it as it's based on an unfinished wireless spec.
Specs: Fast Ethernet, IEEE 802.11b, Ethernet, IEEE 802.11g, Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE 802.11n (draft)

Trendnet Wireless N-Draft Router
The Trendnet TEW-631BRP's throughput scores led the pack of Draft N routers, but hold your horses and wait to see how the 802.11n spec pans out.
Specs: IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n (draft), IEEE 802.11b, Fast Ethernet, Ethernet, 300 Mbps

D-Link RangeBooster N 650 Wireless Router
Though inconsistent, the D-Link N 650 router performed admirably overall compared to its Draft N competition. Still, we are unimpressed with how it measures up to the promise of 802.11n. Pass on this for now; in fact, pass on all Draft N routers until the spec is finalized.
Specs: Fast Ethernet, Ethernet, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11n (draft), IEEE 802.11g

Belkin N1 Wireless Router
With its easy-to-grasp status icons, up-to-date security options, and stellar support, the Belkin N1 router is on the path to 802.11n wireless networking stardom, but like other Draft N devices, its performance fails to impress.
Specs: Fast Ethernet, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11n (draft), IEEE 802.11g, Ethernet, 300 Mbps

Kyocera KR1 Mobile Router
If you need a cellular router, the Kyocera KR1 is the one to go for--if you live in EV-DO country.
Specs: 8.5 in x 5.3 in x 1.3 in, Wired, Wireless, 2.4 Mbps, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, Fast Ethernet, Ethernet, Ethernet, HTTP, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11b, External, VPN passthrough, MAC address filtering, NAT support, IP address filtering, DHCP support, 15.9 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, Fast Ethernet, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, Ethernet, SNMP, HTTPS, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.3, Full-duplex, External, VPN passthrough, Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), Firewall protection, DMZ port, MAC address filtering, DHCP support, 2.4 GHz, 0.9 lbs

Netgear WNR834B RangeMax Next Router
Though its maximum throughput is solid and its speed at long range is respectable, the Netgear WNR834B's mixed-mode speed is not. Save your cash until more Draft N routers make it through CNET Labs.
Specs: 6.8 in x 1.5 in x 8.8 in, Wireless, Wired, 270 Mbps, IEEE 802.11b, Ethernet, IEEE 802.11g, Fast Ethernet, IEEE 802.11n (draft), Ethernet, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n (draft), IEEE 802.11b, External, DoS attack prevention, Intrusion Detection System (IDS), MIMO technology, Firewall protection, NAT support, Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), URL filtering, 2.4 GHz, 1.3 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: Fast Ethernet, IEEE 802.11n (draft), IEEE 802.11b, Ethernet, IEEE 802.11g

Belkin Wireless-G Travel Router
The Belkin Wireless-G Travel Router combines great design and support, a low price, and decent performance, making it an obvious choice for business travelers who need Wi-Fi connectivity.
Specs: 2.4 in x 3.2 in x 0.8 in, Wired, Wireless, Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11b, Wi-Fi CERTIFIED, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, External, 1.6 oz
