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. ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to setup, can connect four computers at once
Disadvantages: When I first got it, it disconnected me a lot

I picked this wireless router over many others and for the most part I would say that I was satisfied, but when I first got it, it disconnected me a lot, but over time it has gotten better and now, after about a year of having it, i don't get disconnected too often. Also, i was very pleased that with it came easy to follow directions and I had it set up and ready to go in no time. And the fact that it can connect four computers to the internet at ...

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: 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

Advantages: fast speed high connection and signal strength, eay to use CD
Disadvantages: overheating, breaks down quickly quite quickly

Again, this was first a birthday present for me and it was the only way of recieving broadband in our home. A wirless adaptor by the way is something that recieves wirless signal from a wireless router so you dont have to limit a modem to one computer, but can send out signals to those in the house around you, and this thing picks these signals up. Allthough the wirless adaptor was not plug and play (but most adaptors aren't anyway) it had a clear ...
...system spesifications and showed if you actually met them or not and then continued atomatically to the setup screen. Only after this were the other options accesible on a menu screen. However it does not start the installation process again upon insertion of the disc in to the drive like some programmes and usually your main goal when you put a CD in to the computer for the first time you generally want to install the programme and not download ...
