U.S. Robotics Routers

The Bottom Line: Though it's not the best long-range performer, the U.S. Robotics Wireless MaxG router is one of the cheapest ways to achieve decent wireless throughput over long distances.

Specs: Wireless router, 7.1 in x 4.3 in x 1.7 in, Wired, Wireless, 125 Mbps, Ethernet, HTTP, External, 2.4 GHz, 0.7 lbs

The Bottom Line: This router delivers fast throughput and great range, but its faulty documentation and support make it ill-suited for novices.
