IEEE 802.3ab Routers

The Bottom Line: The Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router WRT320N forces you to pick either the 2.4GHz or the 5GHz band for your wireless network. Given that, it's not an ideal choice for an environment with both types of wireless clients. The router offers good wireless performance and features a high-speed wired network that caps at 1,000Mbps.

Specs: Wireless router, 8 in x 6.3 in x 1.3 in, Wired, Wireless, Ethernet, HTTP, External, 10.6 oz

The Bottom Line: The WRT610N can satisfy both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wireless clients with its solid performance, great design, ease of use, and its ability to work as a network storage device when coupled with an external hard drive.

Specs: Wireless router, 8.9 in x 7.1 in x 1.4 in, Wired, Wireless, Ethernet, HTTP, HTTPS, External, 15.9 oz

The Bottom Line: The TrendNet Wireless N Gigabit Router TEW-633GR is fast, but not as fast as a competing D-Link router, and it's easy to use, but not as easy as a Belkin router. Still, we like it for its winning combination of decent throughput and intuitive Web interface.

Specs: Wireless router, 6.4 in x 5.9 in x 1 in, Wired, Wireless, 300 Mbps, Ethernet, HTTP, External, 2.4 GHz, 11.8 oz

The Bottom Line: The Belkin N1 Vision router makes great strides in user-friendliness, but drops the ball when it comes to performance.
