Setting up a new wireless network? Then you should be considering a dual-band network that supports both 802.11b and the faster 802.11a standards. And these multifunction a/b routers from D-Link Systems and Netgear might be just the place to start. Both routers come with four-port 10/100 Ethernet switches, NAT routing, DHCP servers, VPN pass-through, firewall security, and even Ethernet cables for easy configuration via a PC with a wired network adapter.
