Fast performance, slick design and excellent software, all at the right price

An absolute steal at this price – great performance and superb value make this a must for next-gen WiFi junkies

Although it’s not a screamer at short range, the good long-range performance (at 5GHz at least) makes the Linksys WRT610N an attractive choice

It's a close race between this draft-n Vista Media Extender and the Xbox 360 for getting HD video to your TV. If you watch video from your Vista PC, read on.

The arrival of dual-n band networking with 5GHz promises an end to crowded home wireless networks. Speed, range and technology is great, but the price is steep

With its futuristic design, the WRT310N could live just as happily in your front room as it could next to your PC – at just 34mm high it’s easy to hide. If you already have an ADSL modem, this is the pefect wireless router companion.

The Linksys WAP11 access point features a single 10/100 Ethernet point for plugging directly into a network or via a hub to a PC.

Slow speeds and a high price make this an underwhelming offering

This PCMCIA card was fairly average in all tests, returning some uninspiring times and a middling tenacity to stick to its signal.

Not quite up there with the USB dongles from MSI and Booya, the WUSB11 has good signal strengths but was lacking in transfer speeds.

Energy ratings aren't just for the fridge anymore. By trimming watts from its routers and modems, Linksys reckons it can save enough power to light 14,000 home for a day.

A solid draft-n router with NAS and media-streaming features – though it’s a little on the slow side.

We make sense of wireless-n routers and devices (otherwise known as draft-n) - speeds, compatibility, range improvements, and whether they're safe to buy now.

For many small businesses or home offices, a wireless router will be a core component of your network. We've looked for routers from Linksys, Netgear, D-Link, Netcomm and others.

Lack of online content and copy-protected music are problems, but no HDMI is a major headache

A veritable Swiss Army Knife of a NAS drive, the QNAP TS-119 Turbo NAS has every feature under the sun

Striking looks but limited features, average performance and a high price put paid to the Netgear’s chances

Internet everywhere, for affordable prices. Dave Stevenson investigates the claims, tests the speeds and delivers a verdict on the best plan for your mobile dollars.
