Anything but Linksys.

Laughing If u have lots of $
Get a 802.11N (speed is faster than the current max of 108 for G) instead of a G, but beware as N signals might drown out G signals.

But N routers are still able to support G Adaptors.
If u have the $, get a N Adaptor / wireless card for best surfing speeds ( Rolling Eyes like our ISP gives the best surfing speeds)

I'm find with linksys, cause i have been using it for 2-3 years without any problems. Dunno why mayi dont like.

If not there are:
Belkin Wireless Pre-N router
Netgear Digital Entertainer EVA8000

how abt wired n wirless router?

kenn3th SG

er, all routers are basically a wireless cum wired. It has antennas to broadcast wireless signals.
At the same time, it will have 4 to 5 Internet Cable Slots For Connecting Directly to the internet.

Wireless N can broadcast wireless G signals to communicate with wireless G adapters.. must well get a G router… save $$$

kenn3th SG

but speedwise if u say, N is kinda latest and quicker, 4 times?
if u have the cards and adaptors Laughing

but if dont want can also get the quicker variant of the G (108mbps?)

Old Linksys routers - me like

New ones - No. It's freaking unstable.

Only in your home network. If you try transferring file on a home network, it's super fast. Tested in RP. Cool

not meant to hijack the thread, to prolong the lifetime of the router is it advisible to off the router when not in use?

RSP SG

I don't think it matters.

kenn3th SG

My model is still in production? Laughing
the blue one 2 antenna.

kenn3th SG

For me, i switch off at nights when i don use.
For others they simpily just on it through the night and have it last for 3 to 4 years.
It uses v-little electicity and the heat generated is quite low

Refugees SG

Yes, My linksys is fcuked! Can't access to the settings page. If i can i will get dc and no connection till i replug the whole router in and out.
