| The Bottom Line | Though the Netgear WPNT834 RangeMax 240 provides phenomenal throughput at short range, it doesn't deliver on MIMO's promise of fantastic long-range performance. | 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 Netgear WNDR3800 N600 Wireless Dual-Band Gigabit Router makes an excellent router for any home. | The Asus RT-N56U is arguably one of the best true dual-band 300Mbps home 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. |
