Router Wrangling: 3 Of the Hottest New Devices Reviewed

By MaximumPC, published 11-08-2011

Different tools for different tasks Looking to replace your aging wireless router? We benchmarked three brand-new models at Maximum PC Lab North, but each one is so different from the others that this shouldn’t be considered a three-way comparison. Belkin’s N750 DB is a dual-band model promising throughput of 300Mb/s on its 2.4GHz radio and 450Mb/s on its 5GHz radio, while D-Link’s DIR-657 is a more conventional single-band (2.4GHz) model claiming throughput of 300Mb/s. And Trendnet’s EW-692GR is the first dual-band router to deliver three 150Mb/s spatial streams (450Mb/s in aggregate) on both its 2.4- and 5GHz radios. Belkin N750 DB Belkin’s N750 DB offers a better-than-average feature set, but the router’s performance is a mixed bag. At most of our test stations, it delivered...

How To Share Big Files Over the Internet the Fast, Easy and Free Way

By MaximumPC, published 21-10-2011

There are fast ways to share digital files with your friends that don't involve letting them borrow your thumb drive The Internet has been around for decades now, and even though we all use it every day, the simple act of sending an electronic file to a friend isn’t always so simple. We’ve grown accustomed to e-mail and instant messengers, which work well for sending small handfuls of small files to small groups of people. As soon as you start trying to send anything en masse there are a lot of roadblocks. So what exactly is the best way to send a large file, or a lot of files, or—dare we say—a lot of large files?

Asus RT-N56U Dual-band Wireless Router Review

By MaximumPC, published 05-11-2011

Garish or glam? We report, you decide We don’t much care what our routers look like, because they’re usually hidden inside a closet (unless we’re benchmarking them). But Asus’s engineers lavished as much attention on the RT-N56U’s skin as they did its guts: This dual-band router is a looker, and it’s also pretty damned fast. The RT-N56U is nicknamed “Black Diamond” for its embossed, shiny black plastic housing. In addition to speed, it delivers excellent range and a good collection of features. It’s missing one very important feature, however: It doesn’t provide a guest network on either its 2.4GHz or 5GHz radios. It does offer two USB ports (to support both a printer and an attached storage device) and support for WDS bridging (you can turn off its router function and ...

By SlashGear, published 31-03-2011

If it is speed you are looking for, better start packing for Japan. Logitec has just announced a new Wireless LAN router, the LAN-WH450N/GR with speeds we can only dream of here in the US. The router is set to be released sometime in April, and boasts download speeds of 450Mbps. And no, that is not a propeller on the top. The Logitec Japan site calls this a “triple antenna router”. And it will retail for 19,950 Yen, or about $240. The router supports 5GHz bandwidth on IEEE 802.11a/n, and gives you 450Mbps speed on compatible devices.

Netgear N300 DGN2200M Router with 3G backup ships

By SlashGear, published 16-02-2011

We talked a bit about the Netgear N300 wireless ADSL2+ modem router back in early January when the thing turned up during CES. That router is now shipping for people in need of a DSL modem with 3G backup to pick up. If you missed the original story, I will run down the specs for you. The N300 is an ADSL2+ modem and router in one and has 802.11n WiFi networking that uses DSL wired connection and has a 3G modem backup with a plug in USB modem for when your DSL goes down. If your DSL is anything like mine it goes down way more than you want it to. The failover to 3G is done automatically and as soon as DSL is restored, the 3G is switched back off. The N300 has SPI, VPN pass through, DoS protection and more. It monitors the broadband usage of the network and allows for separate guest account...
