Linksys WRT150N
$120.00
Released March, 2007
The Pros:Good range compared to similar routers. Good uplink performance compared to other budget Draft N routers. Firmware support from Linksys (frequent updates).
The Cons:Does not properly default to 20MHz mode (not compliant to Wireless N stadnards). Default 40MHz mode can interfere with b/g networks. No WPS support unlike newer models.
The Linksys WRT150N is a wireless home router that allows for both broadband and wireless connections. It features a wireless access point, a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 switch, and a Router function that ties it all together and allows an entire network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.

Plus, the WRT150N utilizes MIMO technology, which uses multiple radios to create a strong signal cited as traveling 3 times further and therefore reducing dead spots. In fact, WRT150N is known to travel up to 9 times faster than Wireless-G, although it can in fact work with both Wireless-G and –B devices. Additional features of the Linksys WRT150N wireless router include 256-bit encryption, the ability to serve as a network DHCP server, and a powerful SPI firewall. The Linksys WRT150N retails for $119.95 and comes with a 1 year limited warranty.
