| The Bottom Line | Get the D-Link DGL-4300 now if you can't stand another second of gameplay disruption; otherwise, wait until it incorporates a solid MIMO solution. | With the latest firmware update, the D-Link DIR-655 is arguably one of the best among single-band Wireless-N routers on the market. | Though not perfect, the Asus RT-N66U Dark Knight Double 450Mbps N Router would make an excellent network gateway for home and small-office environments. | The D-Link DGL-4500 GamerLounge Xtreme N Gaming Router almost succeeds for home networking and hardcore gamers. It bears a few flaws, among which is a random reset during heavy load that might be the deal breaker. | The Asus RT-N56U is arguably one of the best true dual-band 300Mbps home routers on the market. |
