Like the Netgear RangeMax router, the Wireless-N router from LinkSys has a handy slimline design that lets you stand it on its side so that it doesn’t take up too much space. We also liked the fact that it showed up on our Mac’s Airport menu t...

Confusing set-up, and poor support...
The Wireless-N was marred by its lack of decent software or manual for Mac users. The installation software on the CD only works on PCs, so Mac users are left to wing it on their own. You can connect to the router’s built-in web page easily enough...

The Linksys WRT300N router is a Mimo device with a difference – instead of three identical antennae, it has two plus a large paddle-shaped antenna between them, which should give you hours of twiddling fun. This draft-N router features the usual fo...
One of the better and relatively inexpensive draft-N routers on the market, but it still falls short of the draft-N speed claims. Roger Gann Lowest online price: ££39.99...

At long last, news of the first products based on Draft N of the not-yet-approved 802.11n specification are starting to trickle out. Despite numerous announcements, actual hardware has been scarce; first to the party is Linksyss WRT300N, a Wi-Fi rout...

Throughput is great but in our tests the WiFi range was not what we expected from the N standard. Great for apartments or smaller homes that are switching across to a full N-network.
Quite a reasonably priced router, that looks like a Dalek (cool). Performance is realistic with serious maximum throughput figures. Setup is easy thanks to well laid-out instructions, which include easy-to-follow indispensable security features.
Really didn?t deliver up to expectation in a mixed-mode environment with G and B equipment and surprisingly the long range tests, which is supposed to be a strength of the 802.11n spec were less than impressive.

The Linksys WRT300N is a well-made device that is a pleasure to work with. Its original case design will surely appeal to the user, except for people who don’t care at all about how their hardware looks. The router disappointed us somewhat with its...

If you insist that your high-tech gear look the part, you’ll dig the paddle-shaped antenna on Linksys’ WRT300N Ver. 1. In terms of performance, though, we found it to be more effective at swatting flies than delivering the promised 300Mb/s networking...
