Currently, the best routers on the market are made by Linksys (a division of Cisco,) Netgear and ZyXEL. Routers have come a long way in the past five years. With the right one, you can protect your PCs and laptops (with a built in firewall) and your children (with parental controls) and add other devices like game adapters (for Wii, PS3 & Xbox) and even video cameras (for security or fun.) Adding additional "access points", range expanders (or antennas) and a wireless print server (so everyone uses one printer) can help round out a home or office network. If you would like more detail and info on how all this works, please view Linksys' basic networking flash video or call us!
