N600 wireless routers are true dual-band routers that simultaneously offer 300Mbps cap speed on each of its two 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands. This speed belongs to the dual-stream setup of the 802.11n Wi-Fi standard and is currently the most popular setup found in both access points (routers) and Wi-Fi clients. The term N600 basically means "Wireless-N with the combined speed cap of 600Mbps."

Cisco Linksys E3000

Cisco Linksys E3000

The Linksys E3000 is the first advanced router that's also easy to use for novices. It provides great wireless performance and has a good set of useful networking features. Its mediocre NAS performance and limited guest networking feature make it significantly less than perfect, however.
