If you have to have the fastest short-range router immediately, the WRT54GX4 is a good choice. But if you need a good long-range or mixed-mode performer, you're better off looking at the Belkin Pre-N router (the long-range champ).

| The good: | The Linksys WRT54GX4 router gives incredible short-range performance. |
| The bad: | The Linksys WRT54GX4 router's long-range and mixed-mode performances are mediocre. It's also a pricey router, especially considering the fact that it will not likely be compliant with the 802.11n spec. |
| The bottom line: | If you have to have the fastest short-range router immediately, the WRT54GX4 is a good choice. But if you need a good long-range or mixed-mode performer, you're better off looking at the Belkin Pre-N router (the long-range champ). |
