Because your home office may share an Internet connection with other equipment in the house such as your kid’s bedroom PC or your spouse’s laptop a wireless router is an easy way to eliminate many messy cables. Also, if you’re using a notebook with built-in wireless connectivity, Wi-Fi is great for you, too.

While considerable buzz surrounds next-generation Draft N (802.11n) Wi-Fi routers, we recommend sticking with 802.11g for the present. Unless you need to stream video or other bandwidth hogging data, you can save a bundle by settling for a model that supports just 802.11g. As its name implies, Draft N is not been officially ratified. Unsurprisingly, most Draft N-based routers fall short of their theoretical throughputs and don’t warrant their premium prices.

The Belkin’s Wireless G Plus MIMO Router is best. It has four Ethernet ports for hardwiring equipment next to the router or for connecting your desktop if it lacks wireless. As an access point, the router delivers suitable throughput of 27.6Mbps in a mixed-use environment. Belkin also offers excellent documentation and simple startup guides that are easy to follow.
