Buying Advice for the Best Wireless Routers of 2012
The biggest categorization of the wireless routers appear with respect to the wireless standards that they support. The LAN standards go by the name of 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g and 802.11n. This is also the order in which these standards launched. The later ones are faster and also more expensive. So 802.11n is faster than 802.11g which is faster than 802.11a which is again faster than 802.11b (802.11b did indeed come before 802.11a). The best routers of 2011 will most likely be the 802.11n routers because they support the highest transfer rates. However it should be noted that the 802.11n standard is not supported by a vast majority of devices currently so may not be the best investment for 2011. For the best routers in 2011 you can safely stick to the 802.11g versions also because for most typical application excluding very high speed gaming, the older versions are good enough.
