- Thats why WPA2 is the only way to go..WPA is nice for backwards compatibility - esp those that cant talk WPA2 (AES-CCMP) but this is all the more reason to remove these devices. I personally use WPA2-ENT [yes at home] which I understand is not the norm :) but I...

- Netbooks + Ubuntu: On fence about form factor; OS solid
- Last week, I bought a Dell Mini 9 preloaded with Ubuntu. The idea: Check out a netbook and take Ubuntu for a spin. The early reaction: Netbooks can be handy, but they can also cramp your hands with those dinky keyboards. And aside from some early problems with connecting to...

- Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router
- The Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router is basically the Draft N 2.0 version of the RangePlus WRT110 that we reviewed earlier this month. Bearing the same sleek, antenna-free design as the WRT110, the WRT310N offers two significant upgrades: Gigabit networking and Draft N 2.0 compliance. We are a little disappointed...

- Linksys WRT110 RangePlus Wireless Router
- The Linksys RangePlus Wireless WRT110 is not a Draft N router, but Linksys doesn't call it a Wireless-G router, either. The reason? It works with both specifications. It supports the 802.11g standard, but the company's RangePlus technology takes advantage of the throughput threshold of the draft 802.11n specification and offers...

- LevelOne NetCon WBR-6000 N-One
- The first router we've reviewed from LevelOne, the N-One WBR-6000, made a good first impression with its styling and easy setup, but its poor performance ultimately left us disappointed. Unless a funky design and low cost--the WBR-6000 can be found online for roughly $90--are more important to you than speedy...
