Re: WTB: Wireless Router
Futureshop had some Netgear ones with a good rebate for a while. I didnt know much about them, but they got good reviews so I tried one out and it works very well. If you can still find one of these cheap, I'd say its a safe bet.Originally posted by AleksStefan

Re: WTB: Wireless Router
I htink SMC is jsut as bad as my blekin one. It was the single most waste of money ever. Stupid thing can not even keep a connection for over an hour and the softeware is HORRIBLE. Save yourself the hassel and buy a d-link of linksys one (I have heard the dlink ones are the nicest).Originally posted by FlandersName: Brent

Re: WTB: Wireless Router
Yep, SMC, Belkin and Netgear all blow nuts......Dlink or Linksys are the ways to go....2006 Colorado Xtreme | AEM CAI | Walker exhaust | smoked glass | -1" dropped rear | Avic D3 | 8000K HID's

Re: WTB: Wireless Router
have had 2 linksys. 1 wired and 1 wireless. work very well with one machine, but 2 or more and a little network traffic lock them both up.. need to unplug/plugin, then they are good again for a few hours. Also have 2 lynksys wireless g routers at my office that our tech just hucked because they couldn't handle traffice and kept locking up. At work we now use Cisco, which is obvoiusly a little to industrial for home use. Its odd cause Cisco makes the Linksys routers... i guess they just cheap out on their consumer brand.Originally posted by Aleks
by the way, i have 3 computers running off this netgear router, 2 wired, 1 wireless. the one computer ran as a game server for about 6 months and the router kept on going. I personally am happy with netgear. I guess everyone has bad experiences.Last edited by stefan; 09-22-2005, 06:52 PM.Stefan

Re: WTB: Wireless Router
you must have gotten a dud. I had one for over a year before I upgraded from a 802.11b to a g model (I didn't get a 802.11g smc...I got a netgear because it was on saleOriginally posted by Stonewall
). The setup software wasn't the greatest, but if you know how to set it up it was great. No problems at all...

Re: WTB: Wireless Router
I would say I got a dub but everywhere I searched everyone had the same problem and there was no fixes that worked for any extended periods. It is stuffed in a box somewhere now, maybe I will pull it out someday soon and beat on it.Originally posted by Flandersyou must have gotten a dud.
