Billion BiPAC 7300N Draft 802.11n ADSL2+/Broadband Router

It's not much of a looker, and it struggles in signal strength, but Billion's 7300N ADSL2+ Modem/Router has grunt where it really counts.

Asus WL-500W 802.11n Multi-Functional Wireless Router

The Asus WL-500W is a good choice only for advanced users who will take advantage of some of router's USB features and aren't afraid to wade into those waters without help.

Netgear WNHDEB111 HD/Gaming 5GHz Wireless-N Networking Kit

They're big and quite ugly, but there's no doubting that Netgear's WNHDEB111 delivers in the 802.11n speed stakes — finally!

Apple Time Capsule (1TB) Network Storage

Apple's hybrid 802.11n wireless router/networked hard drive offers some powerful data backup features for Mac owners, but Windows users and those who demand speed from their 802.11n network will be disappointed.

Belkin N1 Vision Wireless Router

The N1 Vision Wireless Router brings some truly revolutionary ideas to home networking — and then proceeds to implement them in just about the sloppiest way possible.

Belkin N1 router

We're still waiting for a product that totally delivers on the promises of the 802.11n specification, but Belkin's N1 at least comes closer than most. What's more, it's an exceptionally easy router to both install and maintain.

Linksys WAG160N Wireless-N ADSL2+ Gateway

Linksys' WAG160N resides in an attractive package, and manages better than most Wireless N routers. Better than most, but still nowhere near the hype.

Lexmark X7675

The Lexmark X7675 is a network-ready multifunction printer that promises much, but delivers little with its average print quality and frustrating setup process.

Linksys Ultra Rangeplus Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router WRT610N

Linksys' dual-range wireless router has a lot going for it, but still doesn't meet the 802.11n hype requirements.

Creative Zen X-Fi 16GB

The Creative Zen X-Fi is finally here, and while it fits in the pocket and sound quality is excellent, the iPod Touch is still a superior product.

Apple Airport Extreme

If you've got compatible 802.11n-ready gear now, Apple's Airport Extreme takes Wi-Fi speeds up a notch. The USB port for sharing disks is handy, however, network speed takes a hit if you put legacy 802.11b/g devices on your network.

Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.4GHz)

Apple's smaller-scale iMac remains our favourite all-in-one. And while its looks, its ease of use, and its performance are all selling points, Windows PCs are starting to catch up (at least with the latter).

Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router

Aside from its potentially worrisome heat output, the Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router is a networking dynamo with chart-topping performance and a sleek (maybe too sleek) design.

Belkin Pre-N PC Card

When paired with its Pre-N router counterpart, Belkin's new MIMO-enabled PC Card adapter is the best performing adapter we've seen to date.

HP Pavilion dv7-1005tx

While everyone scrambles for the latest low-spec netbook, the DV7 takes the opposite route, promoting itself as the ultimate entertainment notebook. It's almost right, too.

Netgear RangeMax Next Wireless Router WNR834B

Netgear's RangeMax Next Wireless Router edges ever closer to the promise of 802.11n, but it still doesn't quite live up to the hype.

Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.4GHz)

With its super-elegant new design and a strong configuration, Apple's new iMac competes with the PC desktop market better than perhaps any previous Mac to date.

Netgear RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router WNDR3300

The WNDR3300 looks the part of a shiny, fast 802.11n router. Looks are deceptive; this is a sluggish unit in what should be its best operating mode.

Linksys WPC300N

Solid maximum throughput is not nearly enough to make us recommend the Draft N-based Linksys WPC300N. Sit tight to see how the other Draft N gear fares.
