Default Wireless ADSL router range tests?

Does anyone know any sites where they test range of various wireless ADSL modem/routers?

There's a few good deals around at the moment, but range is important to me when using wireless.

cheers,

greg

Best wireless range is from the Super G Atheros devices such as the D-Link DI-624 108Mbps or the NETGEAR WGT624 108Mbps. You would need their respective clients to benefit from the increased range. Downside they need an external Ethernet modem to work on ADSL.

ADSL routers are vertically all identical because there they are near the max power output the EU has set. With experience though I would say NETGEAR DG834G or the USR9106 offer good range.

A few months ago PC Pro tested these for range, can't remember the issue. Perhaps February or March.
