Though the WRT610N isn’t first to the Australian market with simultaneous dual-band operation, it’s definitely one of the fastest and most consistent at the moment. Setting it up can be slightly annoying, but these minor niggles are easy to ignore when the router performs this well.

It's not quite an 802.11n router, but it will run 802.11n-based adapters at close to 802.11n speed. It looks good, it's easy to use and it was completely reliable throughout our test period. We highly recommend this router if you want something inexpensive with which to stream HD video or a high-speed ADSL2+ connection.

Linksys might say the focus of this router is on range, but it's not too shabby when it comes to speed, either. It's an 802.11 draft-n-based wireless router, which is easy to set-up and it looks great.

It's inexpensive and has plenty of features to tinker with. If you're in the market for an 802.11n-based router, we think you should check it out.

This all-in-one ADSL2+ router is stylish, and it also proved to be reliable in our tests, albeit a little slow. If you shop around, you should be able to find it for $130-$150, which makes it great value.

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.

If you take your gaming seriously and have more than one computer with a gigabit Ethernet port, D-Link's DGL-4300 is a good bet.

This is an excellent router for short-range file transfers and can be tailored to provide great performance over long distances, up to 50m away.

This router is recommended if you want a stable and far-reaching wireless network.

The Billion BIPAC 7404VGPM lacks MIMO antenna technology and USB ports but the Internet speed, wireless capabilities and its VoIP functionality during our tests were solid.

All up, this is a terrific little wireless router for an ADSL or cable Internet connection. It's inexpensive, easy to use and has good features. We do wish the Quick Setup process focused on security, too, and we also wish the unit had an on/off switch, for more simple resets.

The WL-600g is affordable and it proved to be a reliable modem and wireless access point, but its user interface needs improvement. The built-in FTP server is a nice touch, but didn't let us write to our NTFS-formatted hard drives.
