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.

The TEW-631BRP offers good performance at close ranges but is slow at longer distances. It'll be given a run for its money by a good Mimo 54G kit. Nevertheless, this product has some interesting features and remains a decent buy - for now.

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.

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.

For data card users, this product allows you to use the same Internet connection on the road using your notebook, as well as on your home or small office PC network. It also serves well as a reliable backup connection, rather than paying for a robust service level agreement.

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.

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.

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.
