Wireless Router Advice

[hydeyho]

I'm looking to purchase a wireless router and am looking for recommendations.

I want to connect my PC and X360 via a network cable (rather than wireless), then connect via wireless to my Nintendo DS and laptop.

Want something that is reliable without costing a fortune.

I have a Linksys Wag54g, which allows 4 LAN cable connections, and 99 wireless device, IIRC.

I had to fiddle around with it to get it working, but it is all good.

I know that the Belkin things from PC World are a bit more user-friendly though, IME.

For the money this is unreal... such good value, 100% reliable... v.good performance indeed

For vfm ... netgear.

For features ... Draytek Vigor 2800G

For stability ... Zyxel prestige.

Thats the one i've got, 100% rock solid from the day i bought it, and the firewall is so robust that even though i still have zone alarm on the machines connected to it to quell my paranoia its never had to deal with a single intrusion.

I used to have a netgear cheapy but that died after a month, sent it back got another one, died the same, in the end i gripped it firmly with both hands and smashed it on the desk till it broke in two :approve:

as for netgear being vaule for money if u want that go for a dlink! cheep and cheer full i had one for a short time....

 

[Dan Page]

Netgear is my first choice.
Then d-link.

 

[Acejon]

Get the Netgear DG834GT.

Not the cheapest, but rock solid performance and the added bonus of being Super G (108mbps) as well as the too older standards (b/g). Plus has a built in ADSL modem so you can bin the cruddy one that the ISP's give you....
