Others/Networking Gear by stefan @ 2010-10-04

The Wireless Simultaneous Dualband 300N XR Gigabit Gaming Router II from Sitecom is a feature rich product that has a nice quality and modern look and does not fail to impress with its wired and wireless performances. Its firmware interface is intuitive enough and if we want to go into its advanced settings, we can always read the Installation Manual located on the CD.
