In order to achieve the best possible speed from your router, you generally need a top-end adapter with a 3x3 antenna configuration, such as Intel’s Ultimate-N WiFi Link 5300 or Ultimate-N 6300. That hasn’t changed

Linksys brings a brand new design and blistering speeds of up to 450Mbps on this dual-band router. Integrated with a 3x3 radio design on 5GHz and 2x3 on the 2.4GHz band, we put the sleek E4200 to the test to see if it can provide both decent range and speed.
