...to router and switch on. The setup wizard can be accessed wirelessly using the internet based installer, or for more security you can connect your computer to the router via ethernat and set it up that way, that is it. Within 10 minutes I had my network up and running on 2 Laptops, 1 PS3, 1 iPhone and 1 Wii. One problem I used to have with my Linksys router was that whenever I played online on the PS3 the computer's internet would cut off for about 5 mins, and vice versa. This has not happened once since I bought the N1 Vision as all the items listed above can connect at once with no problems at all. The router also has some really nice features too, it has guest mode for extra security, several different visual indicators and has great range. Guest Mode: Guest mode basically lets you setup a second network on the same router... Read review

Advantages: Extended range, capable of streaming HD video (mostly)
Disadvantages: Susceptible to interference, needs matching adapters

...What it does:- connects your ADSL connection to an internal network using either cables or wireless. The MIMO and N1 designations show that its at the bleeding edge of wireless standards so its one of the first wireless routers that is (theoretically) capable of streaming High Definition Video to wireless devices. But beware - your mileage WILL vary. Easy to set up and use - the quick start guide got me working in ten minutes and ready to go. But the main manual is on the CD so you have to trawl a bit to get deeper information (should you need it). What it looks like:- an ok design but tries a bit too hard - who really cares if an anonymous box they rarely see is 'pretty' and to be fair its tricky to make something the size of a fat paperback with three big aerials sticking out look attractive at all.
