LinkSys Wireless-N ADSL2+ Gateway
Like the Netgear RangeMax router, the Wireless-N router from LinkSys has a handy slimline design that lets you stand it on its side so that it doesn’t take up too much space. The plus point is that it showed up on your computer’s menu the moment the cable is plugged it in, so there was no need to much about with Ethernet cables in order to set the router up.
However, like so many of these routers, the Wireless-N was marred by its lack of decent software or manual for Mac users, but perfect for PC users. The installation software on the CD only works on PCs, so Mac users are left to wing it on their own. You can connect to the router’s built-in web page easily enough, but this is full of technical jargon and settings that will confuse anyone who isn’t fairly knowledgeable about networks. So, poor Mac support scuppers another router’s chances.
