Linksys WRT600N Ultra RangePlus Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router: Mobile Innovation Award Winner 2007

Blistering speed is important, but the Linksys WRT600N Ultra RangePlus Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router ($279) also weeds out pesky interference problems. With two 20-Hz channels in the 2.4-GHz band and multiple 20-Hz channels in the 5-GHz band, the WRT600N is supercharged with more power to smooth wireless network transfers to your laptop or a Wi-Fi set-top box, such as Linksys’ new Media Center Extender. (Most routers just use one 20-Hz channel for the 5-GHz band.) It’s the first router to deliver on the promise of real whole-house high-definition video streaming.
