The Bottom Line Relatively fast and very easy to use, the Linksys E1500 Wireless-N router with SpeedBoost is a good fit for home users, especially those with little networking know-how. Underpowered but supereasy to use and affordable, the Linksys E1200 makes a good entry-level Wireless-N router for home users. Though far from perfect, the Linksys E2500's ease of use, nice design, and reasonable price make it a very good router for a small home or apartment. The Linksys E3200 is an excellent high-performance Wireless-N router for both novice and experienced users. The Cisco Linksys E2000 Advanced Wireless-N Router is the fastest router we've seen in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and will definitely make home users happy with its easy-to-use setup software. Advanced users, however, might find its desktop software and Web interface combination a little disjointed.
