Thread: AirLive WL-1600GL

Features that make this 802.11 g router worth its price include Wi-Fi Protection setup or WPS that allows a single button push secure wireless connection. WPS is a standard created by Wi-Fi alliance to create secure wireless connection. and WL-1600GL comes with 'WPS' button to use this feature. Besides wireless capability, this router also comes with four LA ports and one WA port. Setting up this router is easy and it comes with a standard wizard based setup feature. Security features of this router include URL filter. protection against denial of service and Firewall. One can set up secure wireless connection with WEP and WPA/WPA2 based encryption.

To check performance of this router, we carried out couple of tests. First we checked TCP throughput using 'Qcheck 3.0' with a payload of 1000 Mb. It gave 10 Mbps which is very low when compared with a similar G based router -D-Link DIR-300.
