The Bottom Line Netgear's WGT624 is a good choice for advanced users but may be too complicated for those new to networking. The Linksys WRT54GS is especially well suited for networks with both 802.11g and 802.11b connections. The Belkin N+ Wireless Router is a great performer with excellent range and throughput speed. If its bulky design and lack of 5GHz frequency support don't put you off, the router is worth every penny of its $100 or so price tag. At a very affordable price, the D-Link Wireless N Router DIR-615 makes a great entry-level Wireless-N router and would satisfy most situations where a wireless network is needed. The Netgear RangeMax router is among the best-performing routers we've seen.
