New to the Charts: D-Link DIR-625 RangeBooster N Router

The D-Link DIR-625 has been added to the Router and Wireless Charts. The DIR-625 is one step up from D-Link's entry-level draft 802.11n DIR-615.

The 625 is also a two-antenna design (2T2R) with a four port 10/100 switch. But it has a different Ubicom processor that yields 100 Mbps wire-speed unidirectional routing throughput and 144 Mbps of total simultaneous up/downlink throughput. It also maxed out our Maximum Simultaneous Connections test at 200 connections.

Linksys phasing out low-end 802.11n router

If you're looking for a cheap way to upgrade to draft 802.11n wireless and want to do it the Linksys way, keep an eye peeled for sales.

We've learned that Linksys will be discontinuing its least-expensive WRT150N when current inventory runs out. This will leave the WRT160N, which was introduced in January as Linksys' only entry-level draft 802.11n router.
