Netgear WNDR3700v4 N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router Review
" Today we look at the re-released Netgear N600 Wireless Dual-Band Gigabit Router, the WNDR3700v4. Obvious by the router’s model number you can see that this is the fourth revision of this very popular router. Priced at $99.99 shipped, the Netgear WNDR3700v4 is an N600 rated Dual Band router which means two channels (2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz) performing at up to 300 Mbps each. Dual-band routers are pretty much the standard now and continue to give users flexibility to stream high definition multimedia and play games online with no interruption. The Netgear WNDR3700v4 router is designed to give ample wireless coverage for “medium to large” homes and offices. This is one of Netgear’s “middle-of-the-road” routers when compared to “economic” N300 that retails for around $50 and the “best-in-class” wireless-AC R6300 for $200. "

NETGEAR Universal Dual Band WiFi Range Extender (WN3500RP) Review
" Today we are looking at the WN3500RP or Universal Dual Band Wi-Fi Range Extender for short... or not. Designed to pretty much do what it says, this device extends the range of an existing wireless network by repeating the signal with the use of a new network SSID. So essentially, it is a basic router that forwards on traffic it receives to the primary router. This means our network can now reach those dead spots in the home or office or boost the signal in weak reception areas. To add to that NETGEAR have of course thrown in plenty of extras, so let's take a look. "

Network: Western Digital MyNET N900 Router
Western Digital MyNET N900 Router Review
" Western Digital is known for their supremacy when it comes to storage. With drives like the Caviar back in the days of the IDE interface to the more modern My Book External storage platforms. If you put all of this together and the fact that Western Digital makes their own NAS as well - the Sentinel. Then it shouldn’t come to much surprise that they would invest in making their own lineup of routers as well. Back in June of last year Western Digital announced they would be entering the Wireless Market with a full set of routers. The routers as we known them now by the MyNET branding WD has chosen for them are built to cater to all consumers at every level. "

Netgear R6300 Dual Band Gigabit WiFi Router Review
" Virtually everyone that has access to the Internet at home will have a wired connection and this therefore means that at the heart of their connectivity in the house we will find a router of some shape or from. Typically most of these are ISP supplied items such as BT’s Home Hub or a generic branded router. Whilst these on the whole do as they say on the tin and for the most part of their lives and use run without any problems, there is always a better option. Most home users would like to get a little bit extra from their router, whether it be a better wireless signal or even media and printer sharing capabilities, there is only one option and that is to replace the supplied equipment. Thankfully, for those that will need the facility, a large number of routers come with a built in ADSL modem to get them connected, but other users like myself may not need this option if they have the likes of fibre broadband where a separate specialist modem is required.

Network: TP-LINK TL-WDR3600 router
TP-LINK TL-WDR3600 router review
" Network specialist TP-LINK is carving a name for itself as a provider of low-cost, high-quality networking kit. We took a look at the sub-£20 Nano Router and were left suitably impressed with its versatility and value. The firm's premium cable routers, meanwhile, use 2.4GHz/5GHz dual-band technology, achieving speeds of up to 900MBps when serving both bands concurrently. Touting N600, N750 and N900 speeds, the value end of the TP-LINK range - N600 - comprises of the £60 WDR3600 and £50 WDR3500 routers. These are differentiated by the former using four Gigabit LAN ports instead of a quartet of 10/100Mbps. We're looking at the higher-specified WDR3600 today. "

ASUS RT-N66U Dual Band Wireless N900 Gigabit Router Review
" For many of our readers a router is a device that will be provided by an ISP (such as Virgin or BT) but for others it is the central hub of a multimedia environment. Whichever the case is it is an essential part of any modern household. This is especially true since the rapid advances in smartphones and tablets which are requiring ever faster wireless connections. Some households in the UK are now at the stage where they may have more than ten internet connected devices. I, for instance, have six devices that I use regularly to access the internet, whether it to watch TV, check my email or even write this review. Other homes are likely to have at least three or four devices active at any given time. "

Network: ASUS RT-N66U Wireless Router
ASUS RT-N66U Wireless Router Review
" Not all wireless routers are equal. Every wireless router can shuffle bits back and forth between the Internet, the local wired network, and the local wireless network. Some routers are faster than others, and that’s to be expected. However, there is another class of wireless router that offers more than the standard feature set. The ASUS RT-N66U Dual-band Wireless-N900 Gigabit Router is one such hot rod. Featuring among other things dual USB2 ports and 450 Mbps wireless transfers and the ability to create eight wireless networks, the RT-N66U is a great device for folks who want their always-on device to do more than just shuffle bits. Read on for the review. "

Netgear Prosafe GS724TPS 24 Port Gigabit Smart Stackable PoE Switch Review
" Following our recent look at one of Netgear’s Prosafe wireless access points, the WNDAP360, which got a huge thumbs up in our testing, we thought that its worth taking a look at what lies at the heart of each and every network in one form or another and that’s the switches. Without these networking multi-sockets, the internet wouldn’t be and neither would be modern communications. Switches are the unsung heroes of networks and they have probably the hardest time, ensuring that data goes in the right direction depending on the users needs and their configurations and all at high speed.
