Review Summary

This is among the best compact wireless-networking devices available.

If you're looking for a router with great range, this is it.

Equally adept at streaming audio, photos, and HD video, the D-Link MediaLounge DSM-520 offers a winning combination of impressive features and performance at an affordable price.

The competent Monsoon Allianz Aeris is more than an Asian flavor of the Web-enabled Slingbox media streamer with its built-in wireless and personal video-recording capabilities.
