CNET 2012 networking product billboard: Meet the new Top 5
CNET - It was clear from CES that 2012 is going to be a year of many changes in home networking. To help you keep up with these changes, here’s our list of the top five networking products currently available.
This Top 5 list will be updated on a regular basis. This means if you don’t see your favorite router or brand on the list, don’t be discouraged, you might see it next time. This also means that the products mentioned here won’t necessarily be the top five of 2012, which we’ll determine at the end of the year.
Since this list consists of only five products, as time goes by there will be products that have to leave this group. You can scroll down to find out what has to say goodbye in the “Previously on top list” section.
Without any further ado, these are our current top picks for networking devices, as of February 2012. This list is sorted by the review date, starting with the most recently reviewed.

The Clear Spot Voyager is a mobile hot-spot router that provides very fast 4G Internet access to up to eight Wi-Fi devices. It also comes with affordable and unlimited data plans and has good battery life. It’s not for everyone, however, since it only supports Clear’s 4G network, meaning when out of the coverage area, it’s useless. Make sure you live and travel within Clear’s 4G coverage before purchasing.
The reason it gets on this list: other than the fact that it’s very fast and functional, it’s also supercute and compact. Read the full review of the Clear Spot Voyager.

With that many zeros, it’s almost impossible for the Amped Wireless R10000G not to catch your attention. The good thing is that’s not the only thing that’s special about the router. The R10000G offers by far the longest wireless range I’ve seen, making it a great for those who need Wi-Fi coverage for a large area. Read the full review of the Amped Wireless R10000G
