Advantages: Great signal strength and small
Disadvantages: Sometimes loses signal but not for long

...I'll explain why. The Belkin router is a small compact box that has a pair of aerials on it that detects the signal to enable laptop users to go 'wireless' meaning they do not have to be plugged into their modem any longer and can sit in any room of their home whilst working on the laptop. This can depend on how good the signal strength is and the G plus is the medium range so allows the average home the capability to go in any room and still have ...
...The installation was very easy - literally it is a case of inserting the CD supplied into your laptop that you want to go wireless with and following the instructions. It is relatively fast to set up as long as you have the access to the net already in your home as it detects it and gives you the instructions to follow to then go fully wireless using your laptop. Once installed you never need to do anything with it as there are no buttons on it just ... Read review

Advantages: thin, look
Disadvantages: couldn't get set up, difficult for me

I went to purchase this router for my computer since I have two of them. I bought it at Best Buy for 70.00 and something. The look was nice when I took it out of the box. But I had a hard time trying to get it installed. I even called for some assistance and they could not even help me. Which was very upsetting. It was a very great value. The lights showed up but one and I could not get it to go online at all. Even Best Buy had recommended this router ... Read review

Advantages: small, USB connectivity, solid product
Disadvantages: None

The D-Link AirPremier AG DWL-AG132 Wireless 108AG USB Adapter is small but does wonders for your WiFi needs. First, primary reason why I opted for this reciever is its USB connectivity. The PC I was going to you use this didn't have any available PCI slot so I have to go for this one. And I am pretty pleased with that decision. Being an USB device offers a lot of advantages. This means you can install and use this on several PCs by being just a plug-and-play ...
...around different PCs or laptops. Signal for this is good. Speed is within specifications. Used it about 60-70 feet away from router and signal rating is between very strong to excellent. Though I have seen some that are stronger (PCI cards), you shouldn't have any problem using it within the house. Unit construction is pretty sturdy too. This usb adapter by the way comes with an 2-feet extension dock which comes handy if you don't want to plug it ... Read review
