The Bottom Line: The Linksys WRT110 RangePlus is an unconventional and stylish wireless router that supplies near draft 802.11n throughput without being an official Draft N router. We like this affordable, antenna-free router for networks where Wireless-G and Wireless-N clients coexist.

The Bottom Line: The Windy31 USB Wireless Router is not a router in the traditional sense. This small, USB drive lets you create a wireless network with access to the Internet from any one PC that has an Internet connection. It's a must-have for travelers who need to share their Internet access with different Wi-Fi devices.

Specs: Wired, Wireless, 54 Mbps, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, External, NAT support, 2.4 GHz
