Buyers' Guide to Home Networking Gear
Wired and wireless choices abound, and prices are falling. Selecting the right type of network (or a hybrid) is key.
Recommendations
Key factors in choosing a home network include the types and physical locations of your computers, your security needs, and the cost you can afford. Unless large file transfers are involved, most home users are best off with a Wi-Fi network or--if a pure wireless network is impractical--a Wi-Fi/HomePlug hybrid.
Because Wi-Fi shoppers have the most options, our chart of top router picks is devoted to Wi-Fi. If you're willing to spend a few extra dollars for top range and speed, consider a solid and consistent performer such as Agere's Orinoco line.
