  • The Final WordWe've seen our share of funky routers over the years. Fortunately, ASUS has married what's trendy and stylish into the RT-N56U which should work in their favor. Slim, modish, feature-packed, and decked with an array of Gigabit ports, the ...

  • Diseño Black Diamond, facilidad para Modding, tecnologías incorporadas, facilidad en su administración, WPS
  • El precio podría ser un problema para algunos usuarios
  • Si bien, muchas veces el Router que tenemos en el hogar es proporcionado por la compañía proveedora de internet, algunas ocasiones es necesario buscar alguno por cuenta propia, sobre todo cuando requerimos de más beneficios en nuestra red, es por ello que...

  • Gigabit intégral / Design inhabituel ?, Interface simple, réactive et soignée, Nombreuses fonctionnalités (3G, FTP, serveur d'impression)
  • Serveur FTP limité, Les plastiques font toc, Débit Wi-Fi longue portée décevant

  • Puur op basis van de draadloze prestaties is er maar een router die je kunt kiezen en dat is de Linksys E4200. Een Gold Award is zeker op zijn plaats. Vooral op 2,4 GHz is deze router een klasse apart. De Netgear WNDR4000 mag dan sneller zijn op 5 GHz,...
