Wireless routers are a special device that enable the connection and routing of information between separate networks. They are used to connect a group of computers so that they can communicate with each other without using wires. In this article we’ll take a look at the top 3 wireless routers on the market.

Choosing the right wireless router

Despite the enormous selection of wireless routers on the market today, there are a few that manage to stand out from the crowd, and we’re going to look at the top 3.

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.

This router is fairly easy to set up even with the security feature of WEP and WPA which are essential for keeping your computer safe. With the Belkin wireless router you get 6 months worth of parental control, content filtering and spy-ware 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.

With this router it’s straightforward to protect your network from trojans and computer viruses. The D-Link router has a great set up wizard that will guide you through setting everything up, including all your connection settings from your ISP.

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. Whatever you decide, you should take the time to consider all your options. Make sure you have a list of your requirements so you can check them off against the features of each wireless router. Don’t forget to set yourself a budget too.

If you’re not used to this, choosing the best wireless router can be difficult, but if you stick with the most popular models and check your list of requirements and stick to your budget there’s no need to worry at all.

One last thing - if you can, try to purchase a wireless router which is made by the same company as your network adapter - it usually makes installation and setup much easier.
