| The Bottom Line | With a fair price, decent performance, and dead-simple setup, the SMC SMCWGBR14-N Barricade N router is about as well-rounded a Draft N router as you'll find. It also boasts impressive range and a smart design. We strongly recommend it for general home use. | 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. | The Netgear WNDR3800 N600 Wireless Dual-Band Gigabit Router makes an excellent router for any home. | 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. |
