The Buffalo G300N actually surpassed the range of the other routers -- it easily extended to 150 feet past the back corner of my home, where the G network went dead.
The Buffalo G300N is a fantastic router that performs better than any other N router I tested. And for an affordable price of $100, this router should be on the top of your list if you plan on establishing an N network in your home.
The D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router (Dir-655) is an ideal solution for someone who doesn't mind paying a high price for one of the fastest N routers on the market.
With a sleek white finish and three matching white antennas, the Dir-655 will look snazzy in just about any location. It features a USB port on the back, which lets you plug in a printer or storage device, but I was disappointed to discover that I couldn't share those products with other computers on the network.
One of the router's best features is its inclusion of a sophisticated QoS monitoring system that effectively allows you to prioritize traffic on the network. If you're a gamer, or you want to stream video or use Skype, these latency-sensitive programs can be set to a higher tier and thus given preference over the less important traffic such as downloads. In essence, this feature gives you the ability to dole out the best performance as needed.
Unfortunately, the Dir-655 still uses a Web interface to configure the router -- as a result, its usability is abysmal. It affords tremendous customization capabilities and allows advanced users the latitude they can expect from a well-built router, but the menus are overcrowded and maneuvering your way to a specified setting is a pain. For example, a simple task like port forwarding, which should take a few seconds to configure, took me almost five minutes to find, configure, and implement.
Subsea cable alternatives can provide a level of comfort for those concerned about disruptions. Realistically, they will continue to play a small, but critical role in the short term.
Maintaining existing network infrastructures often incurs huge technical debt before newer technologies are adopted over time.
Amid ongoing regional uncertainties, telecom infrastructure in the Middle East has expand to include terrestrial low-latency network infrastructure, which offers resilience and agility in navigating political complexities without relying solely on undersea networks.
