8. BAM!!

What can I say? Just as Linksys set the bar a few years ago with their flagship BEFSR41 "Linky" router, D-Link is now lowering the boom on the SOHO router industry with the DI-604. I mean, given all they've packed into this little silver box, who's gonna pay more than $50 ($38 from some on-line retailers at the time of this review) for a non VPN endpoint router any more?

I'm always reluctant to fully endorse a product until it's had a little marketplace "aging", especially given all the different broadband systems with all their particular quirks. But if D-Link has done their homework (and especially their testing) correctly, you're not gonna pay a lot for a SOHO router any more!
