Best 5 wireless routers

It's true that dual-band (5Ghz and 2.4Ghz) wireless routers give you the most options by supporting virtually any wireless client/adapter on the market. However, single-band (2.4Ghz) routers will do just fine if you don't use them in an area saturated with Wi-Fi signals. And if you still have a Wireless-G (802.11g) router, it's definitely time to upgrade to a Wireless-N router or access point. Wireless-N routers are affordable and offer much better coverage as well as throughput speed, capable of streaming HD content.

As there are so many choices on the market, it's always hard to find the best one for your money. This is the list of the Top 5 wireless routers we've reviewed this year. They come with different feature sets and prices, but all of them share great performance and have earned high ratings from CNET reviewers. Pick one that fit your budget!
