With the internet being used for watching television programs, listening to
music and even telephone conversations, a good router is essential to keep
everything running smoothly. Computeractive has teamed up with AVM to give five
readers a versatile wireless router and USB key worth £1,300.
The Fritz!box Fon Wlan 7270 router connects to multiple PCs and laptop
computers around your home. You can also use it to connect up to six cordless
telephones, answering machines and faxes. Those worried about security will also
be pleased to know that Fritz!box is secure straight out of the box thanks to
its activated WPA/WPA2 encryption. Wlan communication can be switched on and off
automatically or manually using a pushbutton, while the Wlan Eco Mode keeps
power consumption to a minimum even when the device is in use.
For added security the router also comes with a firewall and a child lock
that you can set to ensure children don't stumble upon sites that are not
suitable.
The Fritz!wlan USB Stick N plugs straight into a USB port on a PC or laptop and
claims to boost network speeds to up to 300Mbits/sec. Like the router, it
scrambles information for security.
