exemption 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2008 I would definitely have to say the Linksys routers are the best. Although they do get hot alot, I have never had to get a new one, or to get it fixed in any way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluedragon 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) I dont have much knowledge about this but i think D-Link and Netgear are good. I've used a D-Link router for over 5 yrs without any problems, though it was a wired one. Edited July 4, 2008 by bluedragon (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted July 9, 2008 Yeah Linksys routers are the best, especially the LINKSYS WRT54G routers, and I have to say that I haven't had any major problems with it since I first installed this router about two year ago. I been tempted to buy a new router especially the ones that have BG and N with it, although after reading many reviews on the N routers I am glad I am saving my money as people been having problems with them and what not. I recommend checking out newegg and check out the reviews people give on some of the big name wireless routers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ckcomputerstallahassee 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2008 +1 for the Linksys WRT54g routers. Also consider flashing the firmware to DDWRT, which will greatly improve the functionality. I have never had a problem with it. I did have a D-Link crap out on me, and have had the impression that at least the basic ones are kinda cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMBlazed 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2008 I suggest that you get one that uses wireless-N technology. They are the fastest and the signal isn't confused when going down a hallway or reaching to a basement. These also have great range. I use one right now and my modem and router are all the way down the hall- about 100+ feet. The only downside is the fact that they are more expensive than wireless-g technology routers. But for the money, I think that N technology beats B and G by a longshot. But if you have a small house and don't need very much range, then a wireless-g router would do the job. But I think that a router with wireless-n technology is the best router out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
williamm 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2008 The best router that i have came across and i'm using it rhight now is Netgear. I had linksys and belkin routers, they didn't do what i wanted them too. they slowed my connection and made me disconnect alot. I got fed up with them so i found a Netgear router and i love it no slowing down no disconnects and it takes in more bandwith than those routers. I couldn't be any more happeir with any other router.

Stridr 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2008 Netgear and Linksys. Of course the wireless lan standard greatly affects the speed. B and G are common among most routers. N is the new latest and greatest standard. The best so far I have used is a Wireless N router from Linksys of Cisco Systems, very good reception and the ease of use and configuration options are awesome. Cheers.

Three wired and four laptops and it works fine.

Evolix 1 Report post Posted October 19, 2008 NETGEAR routers are quite good. I've used two versions and they seem to work perfectly without having any trouble. First version: DG834G. Second version: WGR614v9. I've got these routers for free from internet providers. For the DG834G I got from AOL. (I no longer use it but I still have the router lol.) The WGR614v9 I got from Virgin Media, which is my current internet provider. If you do not want to change your internet provider, you can just buy a NETGEAR router, usually around ?40 (its worth it) and modifiy the IP's to your current internet provider. NETGEAR routers also come with extra features, such as parental controls, portforwarding, port-triggering, security etc. So why not get a NETGEAR router?

Variablez 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2008 I find that all netgear routers are good, but they have poor popularity and many sites that edit your router and require router editing, dont support it. In this case, I would suggest that you use a D-Link router, they have a very sleek design with 2 arials on their router on many models. They also have good support with sites that require router changing and have great support! They also can reach speeds of 54.00 MBPS easily and without a doubt, hardly ever break down. But I suggest buying it direct from store as if you buy it with an internet package, yeah sure its free, but the model will most definatly suck at speed and have a horrible design! So overveiw is that a good deign D-Link router to get! Also, the D-Link models also stick upon walls with the correct equiptment and expertiese! Thanks for reading my post!

EinReaper 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2008 (edited) Even though I never used them, I've heard a lot of good things about Linksys routers. I guess this is expected because they are made by Cisco Systems, which you know are the best in networking.I personally own an Edimax Router and I'm very happy with it. It supports the "n" technology which provides great bandwidth. Also, most Edimax routers come with a Wireless LAN USB that enhances the wireless distance and can give a wireless connection even to desktop PCs.
