Best wireless G rounter and access point
Reviewer: Tae S. Shin "ScientificDeveloper", Amazon5 days ago- Overall 10

I unplugged my main computer from the old router and plugged it directly into the Verizon DSL modem. Turned on my computer and was able to get online immediately. Once you can, insert... Read more
