This latest version of the WiSpy is a small, slightly customizable (you can adjust the antenna position) USB wireless device coupled with sophisticated analysis software. Chanalyzer 2.1 is a solid bit of code, but the action is with Chanalyzer 3.0, currently in beta 5. This updated package uses smart UI design, so even wireless novices can easily identify surrounding wireless signals, their strength, and their sources. The software is capable of recording analysis sessions. You can then e-mail the recording to colleagues who also use Chanalyzer, or you can upload it to MetaGeek's site for help from the user community. Note, however, that the 3.0 beta requires a Windows machine running .Net 2.0 or later.

The WiSpy 2.4x kit is a smart bit of engineering that gives generalists just the tools they need at a reasonable price rather than the vast array of analysis and diagnostic tools-accompanied by a price many times that of the WiSpy - found in enterprise level spectrum analyzers. I’d like to see 5-GHz capability soon (the company says it's working on it), but despite its absence, this is a solid addition to your network management toolkit.

Both routers are designed to be compact and good looking. It also portable and easy to attached outside the office room. Its body is made without line and sharp and rigid corner.

This outside display makes both routers to differ from the other. Its body dint in the middle and forms boundary like wing. Its RangePlus Antenna is planted in body so that no more "horn" which boosts.

Both routers have Wireless Access Point, what has four 10/100 switch full-duplex ports. Through this port, all Ethernet cable peripherals can be integrated.

This Access Point applies newest wireless network technology: Wireless-N (with 802.11n draft). This draft of loads various radio signals through multiple in multiple out (MIMO) technology so that it also duplicates the data rate.

Not like ordinary wireless network technology that bewildered by signal reflections, MIMO are applies this reflection to increase broadness and lessens "death point" in its reach area.

Signal spread is also becoming wider so that this connection is better if compared to standard Wireless-G. Because of that, this router is compatible for media centrist application, like video streaming, game, Internet phone, and even WiFi printer.
Both routers are equipped by Linksys Easylink Advisor (LELA) feature, installation guidance which is easy to understand. This software assists the network installation and ascertains the peripheral and connection is still run stable and protected.

Technological like LELA also have been adopted by other router producer, like D-Link and Netgear. D-Link, for example, makes Wireless N Router which equipped by Q&A screen. User can type any question about the problem of installation. While Netgear is make Smart Wizard at WNR834B Wireless Router, English-speaking guidance which is easy to understand.

Both routers can be attached in any part inside the home; along it can reach your PC or laptop, printer, and other WiFi peripheral.

For households with Macs and PCs, the lack of a firewall at the router is another problem. This router might-and in light of the increasing Apple-focused malware landscape, I stress might-work for Macsm but it definitely will not work for PCs. Considering that this is a device intended as an all-in-one Internet gateway for home networks that include both PCs and Macs, dropping firewall security is a mistake, in my opinion.

The access point has the impressive styling and case of use everyone expects from Apple, however, and shows solid performance. It’s also got a USB port that you can configure to share a USB hard drive. Pricing is good, too, though a little expensive in light of the single-band operation and the dearth of security features. For the Apple-only home, this product is fine, but it’s definitely not a preferred choice for networks that include PCs, no matter what the attractive packaging says.

BlueAnt Z9: Double Microphone, Superior Technology

Several improvements make this router the best of the crop I looked at. First, it looks cool in a Bat Cave sort of way. Second, it’s true dual-band. Many vendors call their routers and access points dual-band, but the devices can’t run in both the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz spectrums simultaneously. Most folks still have equipment that uses the lower band, though, forcing them to live in 2.4-GHz, essentially making 11n a pipe dream. The Linksys WRT60ON enables both radios, letting 11b and 11g folks exist in the 2.4-GHz zoo, while costly 11n PC Cards will be able to live up to their potential.

Aside from that, the box’s StorageLink technology lets you share a USB hard drive across the network, and the access point incorporates all the goodies that Linksys users have come to expect from an Internet-sharing router. The WRT600N costs a little more than others in the group I looked at here, but it’s worth the money.

Pegasus Cynalynx: Media Streamer Runs Dry

Here's what I mean by tricky: A firmware upgrade, installation of an internal hard drive (annoyingly not included), calls to tech support, and several changes to my PC's security settings were needed before I was set up. But in the end, the product proved its worth. I enjoyed crisp HD content that I first loaded wirelessly to the unit's hard drive via my 802.11g Wi-Fi network.

Wireless streaming of video from a host computer was a different story: Sputtering was out of control. The wait time for transferring a full-lenght movie could be hours, too, but once movies were on the device's drive, they played perfectly. I had no problem streaming audio and photos. A nice Internet radio function that also requires hard drive installation provides access to Shout Cast and Ice Cast servers. A USB connection in back makes for easy plug-and-play of files on a flash drive.

For the patient, Wi-Fi-adept consumer, MediaGate has created an affordable, solid product.

On the most fundamental level, the Pegasus Cynalynx just wouldn't play my files. During testing, I was able to stream DVDs successfully only a few times, and the quality was pretty sketchy. Video would sputter and often freeze and crash the system. I had no luck streaming video files, either.

Also annoying, DVD audio doesn't play via the analog stereo-out jack. The only way to hear a DVD's sound is by using the digital coaxial port. If you don't have a receiver that has a digital coax-in port, you're out of luck.

I could go on and on about how the Pegasus Cynalynx also had a problems playing all of my music files-whether they were ripped from a CD in iTunes or downloaded completely DRM-free from eMusic. I could tell you how it didn't even show up as a wireless router on one of my other systems, despite the fact that I turned off the firewall and spent hours trying to will it into action. I could tell you how it was incompatible with Vista and the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics driver on one of our test systems. But you get the point.

Compare this experience with the one provided by the less-expensive Apple TV. The Apple TV worked fine and took me less than an hour to set up, while the Pegasus Cynalynx took days of tweaking and never really cooperated. I didn't even get to listen to one full song or view one full movie. Not good.

Nobody likes to kick the little guy, but in the name of protecting your wallet, I must advise you to steer clear of this product.
