| Review summary | The AirStation WZR-G108 is faster than G and supereasy to configure and secure but slower than the Pre-N competition. | If you're looking for a router with great range, this is it. | The Linksys WRT54GX offers impressive performance, but Belkin's Pre-N router delivers more bang for the buck. | You may be tempted by the DI-624M's low price and high scores, but you should resist--it's too unreliable. | The Netgear RangeMax router is among the best-performing routers we've seen. |
