| The Bottom Line | The WR850G is a decent family router at a very affordable price, but it lacks the long range and speed enhancements of new MIMO gear. | The Linksys E4200 v2 makes a great upgrade to the original version and an excellent investment for those who need a fast, feature-rich, advanced, yet easy-to-use router for the home or even a small business. | The Asus RT-N56U is arguably one of the best true dual-band 300Mbps home routers on the market. | |
