Wired Router Reviews
For connecting up to four computers to the Internet, you should use
an inexpensive hardware router
with firewall features along with your
personal firewall software. As you can see from the review dates given below,
reviewers switched to reviewing wireless routers instead of wired ones a
few years ago. Note: Wireless routers are actually wired routers with wireless access
points built in so you can have wired and/or wireless at the same time.
