Features Comparison: Netgear Zooms Ahead

The Best Buy kit proved fast and reliable in our tests. We were also impressed with the easy installation and advanced security of the number two Linksys and number three Belkin products, and the breakneck speed of the sixth-place U.S. Robotics Wireless Turbo kit.

New 802.11g networking products provide higher data throughput and better security while remaining compatible with the earlier 802.11b standard. Our tests of nine wireless kits--each a bundle of a company's router and cards--confirmed their ability to send data through open space at impressive rates. But vendors still must overcome tenacious glitches afflicting product reliability, equipment setup, and customer support. To learn more about our findings, and about the various benefits and drawbacks of Wi-Fi, see "Warp-Speed Wireless."
