  • Helpful LCD display, Dual-band support, Can use USB port for networked storage
  • Relatively slow performance, Too expensive

  • Middling range; confusing network activity display; expensive; bulky design; no print-serving or NAS functionality.
  • The D-Link Xtreme N Duo Media Router DIR-855 is a stable performer with excellent Web interface. But because it comes in a bulky, old-school design, has a relatively short range, and carries a hefty price tag, consider waiting for the price to drop bef...
