Is this mini router a companion you'll never want to leave behind?

AVM's new FRITZ!Box 3370 ADSL router doesn't have as many features as the flagship 7390 model, but its wireless connectivity actually makes advances over its top-of-the-range stablemate.

Wireless 802.11ac draft routers are coming thick and fast, so how does the Netgear D6300 compare?

If you were around for the 802.11n multi-draft incompatibility débâcle in the mid-2000s, then you'll be rolling your eyes to hear, if you haven't already, that all the networking companies are currently rolling out Draft 2 802.11ac kit.

802.11ac wireless AC, which the new Belkin AC 1200 DB router is compatible with, offers almost three times the speed of wireless N.

The Linksys EA4500 isn't like a normal router. It's more like a glimpse at the future of networking.

The TP-Link TL-WR702N 150Mbps Wireless N Nano Router is compact enough to be packed on your travels or used at home.

This 802.11ac draft router is a behemoth. It uses the same Broadcom 4360 chipset as the Buffalo AirStation 1750, so will it work any better?

Buffalo eases us into next-generation 802.11ac wireless with an accomplished router. But how does the new tech work?

The WD My Net N900 Central is the flagship model of its new My Net range that brings FasTrack networking, ease-of-use and a fleet of features to your home network.

Somehow it feels wrong to call this the low-end model in the Fritz!Box 7300 range, but that's what the 7330 is - low end.

Sneaking out at WWDC, the junior member of Apple's AirPort range saw some significant and much-needed improvements.

A new Fritz!Box is a terrifying thing to review, not because of any Axis power-based name-calling or fear of boxes going on the fritz (hoho) but as they do so much.

The AVM Fritz!Box 7390 was a massively impressive, if over-specified, wireless router. The Fritz!Box 3270 isn't as accommodating inside.

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.

The Trendnet TEW-692GR Dual Band Wireless Router is a small and unobtrusive device that comes with three antennae to deliver a stronger - and wider - wireless signal.

A feature-rich router ably catering for the beginner and advanced user alike. Though that comes at a price.

Too high a price for a quality router?

If you live in a house that's shared by a number of heavy downloaders and online gamers, your wireless router is going to come under some serious strain, with a big impact on internet performance.
