| The Bottom Line | The Netgear RangeMax Next WNR854T Gigabit is a smart choice for home networks, thanks to its fast throughput and easy setup. | The Netgear WNDR3800 N600 Wireless Dual-Band Gigabit Router makes an excellent router for any home. | The Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band Router WNDR3400 is a great dual-band router for any home at an affordable price. Its lack of Gigabit Ethernet might steer enthusiasts away, however. | The Asus RT-N56U is arguably one of the best true dual-band 300Mbps home routers on the market. | 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. |
