The Bottom Line The WRV54G puts the cart before the horse, providing lots of VPN tunnels without covering fundamental wireless-security bases. The BEFSX41 is an affordable solution for those who need secure access to their home or office network via the Internet. The WRT610N can satisfy both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wireless clients with its solid performance, great design, ease of use, and its ability to work as a network storage device when coupled with an external hard drive. 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.
