DoS attack prevention Routers

The Bottom Line: The TP-Link TL-WR741ND Wireless Lite N Router makes a great entry-level Wireless-N router at an affordable price.

Specs: Wireless router, 6.9 in x 4.4 in x 1.2 in, Wired, Wireless, 150 Mbps, Ethernet, HTTP, External, 2.4 - 2.484 GHz

The Bottom Line: The Netgear WNDR3700 RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router is a great dual-band router for networking enthusiasts who also want a quick and easy network storage solution.

Specs: Wireless router, 8.8 in x 6 in x 1.2 in, Wired, Wireless, Ethernet, HTTP, External, 1.1 lbs

The Bottom Line: The Belkin N+ Wireless Router is a great performer with excellent range and throughput speed. If its bulky design and lack of 5GHz frequency support don't put you off, the router is worth every penny of its $100 or so price tag.

Specs: Wireless router, Wired, Wireless, 300 Mbps, Ethernet, HTTP, External, 2.4 GHz

The Bottom Line: The Netgear RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router WNDR3300 is a basic Wireless-N router that only offers a taste of dual-band wireless networking. Its short range and limited feature set may override its decent mixed-mode performance.

Specs: Wireless router, 8.8 in x 6 in x 1.2 in, Wired, Wireless, Ethernet, HTTP, External, 1.1 lbs

The Bottom Line: With a fair price, decent performance, and dead-simple setup, the SMC SMCWGBR14-N Barricade N router is about as well-rounded a Draft N router as you'll find. It also boasts impressive range and a smart design. We strongly recommend it for general home use.

Specs: Wireless router, 6.5 in x 5.9 in x 1 in, Wired, Wireless, 300 Mbps, Ethernet, HTTP, External, 2.4 GHz, 12.3 oz

The Bottom Line: It's cheap, easy to set up, and delivers more than acceptable performance at shorter ranges. We like the sleek, white Edimax BR-6504N router, particularly for networks with a mix of Draft N and older 802.11b/g clients.

Specs: Wireless router, 7.6 in x 4.5 in x 1.1 in, Wired, Wireless, 300 Mbps, Ethernet, HTTP, External, 2.4 GHz

The Bottom Line: We wanted to like this funky-looking router, but the LevelOne N_One WBR-6000 performed so horribly in testing that we must warn you not to be tempted by its slick design and low price.

Specs: Wireless router, 6.8 in x 5.8 in x 1.5 in, Wired, Wireless, 300 Mbps, HTTP, External, 2.4 GHz

The Bottom Line: The Netgear RangeMax Next WNR854T Gigabit is a smart choice for home networks, thanks to its fast throughput and easy setup.

Specs: Wireless router, 6.8 in x 1.5 in x 8.8 in, Wired, Wireless, 300 Mbps, Ethernet, HTTP, External, 2.4 GHz, 1.2 lbs

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 Trendnet TEW-631BRP's throughput scores led the pack of Draft N routers, but hold your horses and wait to see how the 802.11n spec pans out.

Specs: Wireless router, 4.8 in x 7.1 in x 1.2 in, Wired, Wireless, 300 Mbps, HTTP, External, 2.4 GHz, 0.9 lbs
