| The Bottom Line | The BEFSX41 is an affordable solution for those who need secure access to their home or office network via the Internet. | The WRV54G puts the cart before the horse, providing lots of VPN tunnels without covering fundamental wireless-security bases. | It's hard to go wrong with the EtherFast router, but if you do, you'll wish you had a longer warranty. | With its extensive setup help, new design, and content-filtering features, the RP614 will appeal to families looking to build an affordable and secure home network. | 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. |
