Conclusion

Notwithstanding some drawbacks, we like the BR-6574n router. Although it is the top-of-the-range model from Edimax, it costs far cheaper than the top products from most other manufacturers of home network equipment. Therefore we are ready to put up with the drawbacks typical of midrange routers. We guess the Edimax BR-6574n has more highs than lows and is quite worth its price. It will be a good buy, especially if you can’t afford a top-performance expensive router.

Highs:

• Cute and compact design
• High quality of manufacture
• Detachable antennas
• High speed of wireless connection
• Multilingual web-interface
• Broad setup opportunities in the web-interface
• Low price

Lows:

• The antennas get in the way of the cables when the router is installed upright
• Inconvenient web-interface
• Low (for a Gigabit Ethernet router) performance of the WAN interface
