Reviewed on July 20, 2006Though inconsistent, the D-Link N 650 router performed admirably overall compared to its Draft N competition. Still, we are unimpressed with how it measures up to the promise of 802.11n.

Reviewed on May 12, 2006If you have to have the fastest short-range router immediately, the WRT54GX4 is a good choice.
