Advantages: Very fast speeds especially with streaming video Disadvantages: wireless technology used is still being worked on
My office has been begging for wi-fi to be setup for the longest time and the answer was always 'it's not secure'. Well, finally our networking guy found something that offers enough security that he feels comfortable in providing the office with wi-fi networking! This wireless router is not only sleek looking but it does it's part in keeping us secure from those hackers out there.
The speed from this wireless router is impeccable. It states that ... ...6 times further distance wi-fi access than 802.11g. The data transfer rate is 300 Mbps. Awesome coverage considering our office is not that small and I have yet to find a nook or office which doesn't have good reception. I'm in the IT field and in such I work with large files, streaming videos and other high resource files. I've yet to have anything to even come close to challenging the reception of this wireless router. To say the least, I'm impressed.

Advantages: Small, Sleak and Slim Disadvantages: Short Range
I have recently purchased this wireless router. I give this an overall positive rating. However, I was a little dissapointed with the range. I have 100% signal EVERYWHERE in my home. I have it set up in an upstairs bedroom and all of our computers are downstairs.
However, when taking the laptop to the back porch, I have VERY low to no quality signal. I was hoping to be able to sit on the porch and play online and relax when the weather permits but ...

Advantages: Good bit Disadvantages: finicky about angles
...your computer. However, with the D-Link Xtreme N PCI Express Desktop Adapter, It's gonna be a bit tricky to actually get the connection. This wireless card is super finicky about angles, which is sometimes hard to determine, considering where the connection is coming from. But once you find the angle you need, it gives a great connection, usually pretty fast. This card is actually pretty easy; Remove the side panel of your computer, along with the ... ...unplugged! I cannot stress this enough! Also make sure to discharge all static on you and the card by touching something metal before installing. Then you plug it in, with the antennae out of the computer. It's way easier than it seems, I swear. Overall, other'n the card being finicky about angles, it's a great card, i definitely reccommend it. ...

Advantages: cheap, easy installation, durable. Disadvantages: easily get disconnected, complicated step in setting up network key
You can actually get this router for 20 bucks in bestbuy or other electronic shop. This router actually is pretty good for its price, the installation process is very quick and easy, and it also guide you step to step to set up a network key. The process of setting up network key though is a little complicated. You really need to write down the password because once you lost it you won't be able to retrieve it and you have to reinstall the router ... ...greatest signal since getting disconnected even if you are in the same room as the router is pretty common. But that is not a really major problem, because usually the computer will try to reconnect in a few seconds. For it's price it is a good deal although you might want to look for something else if you have extra money. ...

Advantages: Fast and reliable Disadvantages: Sometimes it lags, but rarely
...love the design on this Linksys and the speed is just amazing. I use it every day and set up the encryption on it so that none of my neighbors can steal my internet! Haha. I got this at Staples for a pretty good price and would recommend it to anybody. I let the modem rest right on top my my computer base and let it work its magic. It has two antennas for maximum reach. It goes through walls pretty good as well. You can use it for XBOX 360, Playstation ...
