review

By Oliver Kaven

The Buffalo Technology AirStation Nfiniti Wireless Router & Access Point WZR-G300N is the company's very early entry into the 802.11 draft-n race. As a matter of fact, Buffalo was the first company to reach the market with its draft-n gear. The WZR-G300N uses the same Broadcom Intensi-fi chipset as the Linksys WRT300N, and the results, though not identical, are just as disappointing.

Bottom Line

The AirStation Nfiniti WZR-G300N is Buffalo's first stab at a draft 802.11n router. Despite having some great features, this early draft-n router doesn't meet our performance expectations.

Pros

Works as a router, bridge, and repeater.

Cons

Performance lower than expected for draft-n.
