For my first research blog, I wanted to look at a few different articles and try to identify the main specifications (and the different levels of these specifications) that are important to look at when comparing routers. All of this research will be useful in crafting the introduction.

This document summarizes the information that will be used from the website http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=565.
