D-Link AirPlus G 2.4-GHz Wireless Range Extender DWL-G710

SETUP: This repeater is simple to get up and running. You just connect it to your router, run a simple installation program, and then place the device in another area of your home. The installer runs through a Web client.

 

PERFORMANCE: The DWL-G710 added the most distance to our wireless network and also increased throughput at close range. At five feet, the signal on a Linksys WRT54G ran at 21 Mbps. And, from 1,000 feet, we still managed to connect at 5 Mbps. This means you’ll get a boost in your home office and the ability to connect in that room that was always a dead spot.

 

VERDICT: Providing the best speed and range, the D-Link takes the top prize for boosting your wireless network the most.
