- Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router
- The Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router is basically the Draft N 2.0 version of the RangePlus WRT110 that we reviewed earlier this month. Bearing the same sleek, antenna-free design as the WRT110, the WRT310N offers two significant upgrades: Gigabit networking and Draft N 2.0 compliance. We are a little disappointed...

- Linksys WRT110 RangePlus Wireless Router
- The Linksys RangePlus Wireless WRT110 is not a Draft N router, but Linksys doesn't call it a Wireless-G router, either. The reason? It works with both specifications. It supports the 802.11g standard, but the company's RangePlus technology takes advantage of the throughput threshold of the draft 802.11n specification and offers...

- Uncertainty stalls sales of Draft-N Wi-Fi routers
- Wireless networking vendors have been telling me for months that the 802.11n standard, although unratified, is so almost-done that any changes in the final spec could be added to Draft-N devices via a firmware upgrade. Apparently they're talking to the wrong people. A...

- How much performance gain can you expect from a Draft-N router?
- I've been using the same Linksys WRT54GS 802.11g router for a couple of years now, and it has reliably met my home networking needs. That includes connecting two laptops and a desktop, sharing a broadband connection, backing up files across the network, and shuffling video from my network-attached storage NAS...

- Trendnet TEW-633GR Wireless Router (draft n)
- Last year, when we reviewed TrendNet's first Draft N router, the TEW-631BRP, we came away wishing it was based on a finalized Wi-Fi specification. Now our wish remains with TrendNet's latest, the Wireless N Gigabit Router TEW-633GR, as the Draft 802.11N standard isn't expected to be finalized until late in...

- The Linksys WRT150N Wireless-N Home Router goes against the grain of new routers providing faster throughput, and for good reason. Linksys designed this router for those home users who want improved range over standard 802.11g routers, but don't want to pony up the cash for one of the new Draft...
