Review Score 5 out of 6

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

Review Score 5 out of 6

A good demonstration of the benefits of 802.11n, and a good choice for offices requiring a basic router.

Average User Rating 4

Although the basics of this router are somewhat low spec (no 802.11n or Gigabit Ethernet), the extras do make it interesting.
