The Bottom Line This modem makes sharing a dial-up connection easy, but confirm that your ISP supports it before you buy. 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. 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. If you're looking for a router with great range, this is it. Motorola's SBG1000 has all the right connections to create a flexible, powerful, and reasonably secure network in your home or small business.
