Linksys has done a good job at simplifying the process of installing a secure wireless network at home with the WRT54GS, and though it isn't as fast as some of the competition, the bolstered security is worth the trade-off.

For users who want a fast wireless N router, this D-Link is a worthy choice. It produced very fast results in our tests, it's versatile, and it has some nifty interface features. But its physical design could be better.

There are better 802.11n 2.4GHz routers, but where 5GHz is a viable option the DIR-855 is an excellent device. The ability to use both bands simultaneously without consequence is valuable for a media-heavy home.

Performing well as both a router and a 3G modem, the Turbo 7 series Wireless Gateway is a solid mobile broadband option. It isn’t as portable as its ExpressCard counterpart, but the added functionality and ease of use are well worth it.
