Wireless router...

[Dutcho]

OK what bit of kit do you lot recommend as I'm re arranging the house and cannot be bothered to start pulling up floor boards again ?

Belkin USR, the normal...

I have Belkin Wireless and have no probs

 

[Sonic]

Linksys with speed booster for me.

I use a SMC that I bought second hand on ebay. No problems, but from what I hear, Belkin seems to be the easiest to setup and has good customer satisfaction feedback

i have netgear - i would not recommend it. had regular probs but fingers crossed that they are fixed now. you could go for a VOIP wireless router for mega cheap calls

netgear for me to very easy to use

 

[Dutcho]

I have a netgear at the mo and I'd say its maybe 90% reliable but it does not have the wireless thing ma bob (tech speak )

Am I right in asumming you have no limit to the number of wireless conections to the router ? I mean I could have maybe two computers wireless.

Cheers for the input guy's.

You can have umpteen, providing they're within range.

I believe that the limit is 256 - so shuld be ample for domestic use!!

 

[Dutcho]

I'd like to think so

you gusy don't have to pay for voip, there is something called skype, this allows the same service as voip but its free (what i heard)

Just to add - try to get one where anyone connected to your network can use the printer. This is very handy trust me. I myself am using D-link 714p+ - had no problems with it.

 

[Dutcho]

Ok will do,will seek it out..............

Netgear her m8, always been 100% for me. A USB print server is a useful addition (saves having to downstream print) and WPA is disireable but WEP is still OK (128 bit min) Don't forget to secure it to your mac addresses to stop neighbours stealing bandwidth (I'm stealing my neighbours right now!!!) and . As I understand the limit on my router is 11 devices, but it is only 802.11b.

I was looking at the netgear wireless modem/router, cannot remember the model number though. 108 bps or something ?
