A Very Long Name For Something That Just Sits There And Works!

Advantages: Highly configurable
Disadvantages: That bloody light

The Netgear Rangemax Dual-band Wireless-N Router WNDR3300 – phew, there, I’ve said it. In reality, it’s a smart gloss black and silver slab about the size of a paperback with lots of pretty lights, the more of these that flash the cleverer you are – a maxim I’ve stuck by ever since dial-up modems!. What, you mean you want more? Give me strength – it’s only a bit of computer kit, get a grip. OK, OK, here goes. My existing Linksys wireless-g router ...
...of your wi-fi transmitter) from NETGEAR to something more meaningful to you. If you don’t, there’ll no doubt be someone out there who knows that if it’s still called NETGEAR, then it’s ‘10p to a bag of horse ordure’ that its logon\password is still ‘Admin’ and ‘Password’, the upshot of which is to give a stranger access to your wi-fi encryption, or worse still, lets them hi-jack it so you can’t even use it yourself! Of course, changing the latter ...

Review of NETGEAR RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router WNDR3300 - wireless router

Ciso Routers Rock!

Advantages: It comes with Customer Support phone numbers as well as online help
Disadvantages: None

...so we bought the Cisco Linksys router. It was SO easy to set up. We just hooked it right into our cable modem and then reset everything. It runs like a charm, and they even have both written instructions as well as online help. We called the 1-800 number and they talked us through the set up. It was SO easy. I HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone who needs additional lines for their computers! There have been absolutely NO problems with the router ...

Review of Linksys Wireless-G ADSL Gateway WAG54G - wireless router

Great Wireless Router

Advantages: Quick speeds
Disadvantages: Price

I have had this wireless router for a few months now and I think that it is amazing. To be honest only one of my laptops has Wireless-N enabled but the main selling point was the number of aerials. May be stupid but I needed high coverage throughout my house and the picture coupled with the information and the reviews I read lead me to believe that despite the price this wireless router was the one that I would require. Connectivity - Within 30 minutes ...
...is TalkTalk and please note that this version of the router does come with a modem and works with ASDL but not cable so please check your type of internet connection in advance. Speed - With wireless - N I easily achieve 108mbps and even when I am using wireless B/G I still get great speeds and coverage on my laptop and not a dead spot around. Overall this is a great wireless router but before I end this review please remember to use a decent level ...

Review of Belkin N1 Vision Wireless Modem Router - wireless router

Great Multimedia Wireless Router from Belkin

Advantages: Reliable, Fast, Easy to configure, Lots of features, USB for sharing drives
Disadvantages: Bit expensive, Not full speed with every machine

INTRO The Belkin N+ router is one of the higher end (consumer) wireless modem router offerings from Belkin. It cost me £85 from PC World, but can probably be found for a bit less if you shop online. The Cable version costs a little less. Reason I bought this one was because two PCs in the house with wireless cards kept losing the wireless connection when I was using a Linksys router (my own PCs / laptops were fine though!). I replaced that with ...
...the performance of that cheaper Belkin router, I decided to stick with Belkin and get this one! DESIGN The router looks very stylish and stands up tall rather than laid down flat. It doesn't appear to have been designed to be laid down flat like many other routers, which may be to maximise signal strength by standing it taller. It has two antenna sticking out at the top which can be adjusted and it's got loads of LED lights which light up icons ...

Review of Belkin N+ Wireless Modem Router - wireless router

Orange Livebox, how does it measure up.

Advantages: small and stylish
Disadvantages: slow, unreliable.

Right, where to start. For a wireless router it is not really the best. I have had it about 6-7 months and to be honest I have used better but as it is part of my broadband service I don't have much choice. It does work on the whole but it is not the most reliable one out there. It quite offten loses the will to live and will stop connecting to my laptop via wireless and the only way to sort it is to get the non UK call centre to sort it out. On ...
