If you can survive setup and corporate-security blocks, this device promises economical remote access.

Though the DI-624 router is a solid offering, a lack of a stateful packet inspection firewall and weak default security hold it back slightly

Fast, with better range than regular 802.11g or 108g devices.

It's got good range and can transfer files quickly, but it's not a major step up from existing 802.11g routers. It's not worth upgrading to this router if you're already using a decent 802.11g router, but if you're in the market for a new router anyway, this one is good value.

The WRT150N delivers plenty of features at a competitive price-point. Its 802.11 draft-n networking is slow, but its 802.11g performance is excellent. It ran cool during our tests, was easy to set up and use, but its Web interface is sluggish at times.

Although some may be put off by the lack of any wireless functionality, the TD-8840 is fine for those on a budget requiring an ADSL2+ modem and home

For users just wanting to connect to the Internet, the WAG325N may be overkill for the price, but if you also want to integrate with your wireless network -- especially if streaming media is a requirement -- then this router/modem could be worth a closer look.

Netgear’s DG834N provides good value in terms of router and modem capability and security features. We were very impressed with its modem sync speeds, but no Gigabit Ethernet and poor throughput speeds make this a poor router for heavy data transfer and media streaming needs.

The WRT54G2 is strictly for those of you who don't need the extra speed that an 802.11 draft-n-based router can provide. Consider it only if you want a basic router that won't be distributed among many devices and long distances.

If you really need to share your wireless broadband when you're not out and about, then this is a reasonable, albeit not outstanding solution. Keep in mind that it's only been designed for 3 Mobile subscribers. If you don’t fall into this category, then you’ll need to look at the slightly pricier alternative of a non-carrier specific router that supports USB modems.
