In a bid to provide better coverage, the USRobotics' middle antenna is on a long cable so you can place it away from the other two. We found coverage was just OK up to 25m using the matching PC Card or USB adapter. This allows you to take advantage of Secure Easy Setup: push the button on the router and click in the adapter's software and you're all set. It refused to connect to our generic WiFi at this distance - not good.

Setup is wizard-based, and although the menus can be daunting, all the options you need are there. With an ADSL modem and a USB port for sharing a printer on your network, the 9113 is reasonably priced, but lets itself down.
