Wireless Routers Top 10

Since the approval of the 802.11n standards last Sep 2009 by the IEEE, mostly wireless manufacturers competes each other in shipping new line of wireless routers by adopting this new version of wireless 802.11n standards. Not much changing actually from the draft version, but several additional options.
Should you build high-performance Wireless Networks, the wireless routers should include the following features: high-speed (wireless N standards), Quality of service for Multimedia traffic prioritization, clear wireless network (typically using 5GHz band for gaming and streaming), longer distance coverage (typically adopting MIMO technology), and advanced security to help protecting the network against any un-authorized access such as hackers.
