| The Bottom Line | The D-Link DIR-827 is a very good true dual-band router that needs a firmware upgrade so it can live up to its potential. | The Linksys E4200 v2 makes a great upgrade to the original version and an excellent investment for those who need a fast, feature-rich, advanced, yet easy-to-use router for the home or even a small business. | The Asus RT-N56U is arguably one of the best true dual-band 300Mbps home routers on the market. | The Amped Wireless High Power Wireless-N 600mW Gigabit Router R10000G would be a good choice for those who need exceptional Wi-Fi coverage. | Though not perfect, the Asus RT-N66U Dark Knight Double 450Mbps N Router would make an excellent network gateway for home and small-office environments. | Basic specs |
