Deciding which is the right wireless router for you

Although there are quite a few wireless routers available, there are 3 makes that stand out from the crowd as particularly worth looking at.

Number 1 is the Belkin wireless G router. This is a tried and tested router and not surprisingly it's one of the best selling high speed wireless routers around. The Belkin router allows you connect to your cable, DSL, or ADSL modem. It then lets you share your internet access and files.

It's quick and easy to setup, and includes several advanced security features such as WEP and WPA which help to keep your computer safe and secure. With the Belkin routers you also get 6 months worth of the built-in parental control, content filtering, and adware, pop-up and spyware protection.

Next on our list is the D-Link wireless G router. As with the Belkin, this wireless router allows you to connect a basic wireless network together and share internet access between computers connected to your wireless network. It also lets you share files and even chat to friends and family online.

The D-Link wireless router makes it easy to protect your network from viruses and trojans. It has an easy set up wizard that walks you through setting everything up including all your internet connection settings.

The last one is the Linksys wireless G router. This router has some cool features including a 54 Mbps transfer, 24GHz frequency, advanced security options including NAT technology, a DHCP server, and a built-in 4-port 10/100 Ethernet switch with auto speed sensing. It's also has 128-bit WEP encryption.

Although these are only 3 of the choices available, there are many other wireless routers worth looking at, especially those from Netgear.

Although choosing the right wireless router might seem intimidating, you don't have much to worry about so long as you stick to your budget, check the specs against your requirements, and go with one of the most popular makes.
