Most new routers announce that they're going to expand your home network via the wonders of the Wireless N protocol, which enables a much faster and reliable signal. The DHP-1565 is different - it comes with a Powerline adapter.

While we couldn't seem to make the most of the fancy-antenna 450mbps mode at 5GHz, importantly the Cisco put in good performances at both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency ranges. Especially at 2.4GHz it managed to keep ahead of the rest even at 25m with the same going for the 5GHz range. A solid no-nonsense interface provides solid reassurance.

We describe the ASUS RT-N56U dual-band router as feeling like two routers in one, but the Netgear RangeMax DGND3300 feels like one-and-a-half.
