review

Users looking for simplicity and ease of use over performance in a wireless router will find the Buffalo WZR2-G300N appealing. Although its performance was near the bottom of the pack among the routers in the group I tested, it's a solid product with a powerful yet friendly interface and innovative features. Among the standout features are Buffalo's AOSS (AirStation OneTouch Secure System) technology, which lets you quickly configure wireless security, and a switch that can change the base station from an advanced router to a simple access point when necessary. The WZR2-G300N brings a lot to the table for a device at the low end of the price spectrum.
