Sitecom’s black wonder
As the name suggests, the Wireless 300N XR is fully gigabit router with full 802.11n Draft 2.0 support. What the name does not tell you is that this is a sexy router.
A fully rubberised base is only out done by the gloss black top and the secret LEDs that hide under it. The LEDs are bright enough let you know if any activity is going on, and yet small enough not to light up a dark room with an eerie glow.
The installation manual is easy to follow, and it comes with a CD with PDF versions if you don’t like paper work. The disc itself has a black surface circa PS1 era, which merely conveys the sense that Sitecom have gone to extra lengths to make sure they deliver a quality product.
The 300N XR Gigabit has been specially designed to prioritise traffic according to type with gaming and VOIP taking priority over such things as email and surfing, so little sister can surf the web at a reduced speed while you play games at low pings.
Sitecom guarantee lag free gaming for the local network which is hardly a hard claim to fulfill since its fully gigabit. Expect a full review soon.
