    "Great quality WiFi that will last"

    by Josephacote on March 9, 2006

    Pros: built in modem, supports wireless printing via usb, wan and lan ports, good range but also supports external antennas, rugged, doesn't drop out, up to 50 users at once

    Cons: the price for this bad boy is quite high

    Summary: This is a product that supports the 'you get what you pay for' theory. You may pay a high price for this big guy, but it will last for a long time and it has built in features such as a modem, some models are powered over ethernet, which is handy for travelers. The range is pretty good for a router that hasn't changed in 5 years. The best part about this router is that it accepts a piugtail input for external antennas so if you want to zero in on a special connection range you can. This is a HIGHLY customizable router that lets you adjust the power, channel (1-11), has a built in "interference robustness" feature which blocks out other 2.4 Ghz signals such as cordless phones.

    This is one of the best routers you can buy for now, once the N standard is released I'm sure apple will one up the competition once again.

    This B/G router supports up to 50 users connected at once, and is PC and MAC friendly. Also supports wireless printing via usb.
