Need a new wireless router

Gas Man · 07-04-2010, 06:13 PM

I think I need a new wireless router. I have to reset the damn thing daily. It gets all slow. I usually reset it and the cable modem. However, most of the time if I just reset router it fixes it. But I will continue to nail it down to only the router... if not I'll make the cable company replace the modem. However, I want to price out a new router.

What's the brand to buy? I don't game but at times either BIL or bro hooks up gamer... so.... but a N rated router??

Netgear?

Linksys? (what I currently have)

Website links please.

Thanks!

I have this one and have a external harddrive attached to it so I can provide my library of movies and media streaming throughout my house.

I do this kind of stuff for a living. I also have a IPv6 test lab at my house setup right now. That router is cheap comparably to some of the stuff I have accumulated. Also cheaper than a blue-ray player and does the equivalent for me but to every room in the house.

We did this when I was in Iraq, the dude who set it up had 4 TB of movies/TV shows and 1 TB of music. Streaming movies and TV shows throughout the compound was awesome.

Anyways, I have a netgear router/modem. I like it

For home use, I swore by Linksys for the longest time, but these days, so many of the basic models from the different manufacturers have the same features and specs.... The one I bought for my mother-in-law is some brand I'd not even heard of and it was $25 shipped from NewEgg. Works like a freaking champ and it's not had a problem yet. Whatever model you consider, just do a search for reviews from Amazon, NewEgg, etc. And when it comes to negative reviews on wi-fi stuff, take a close look and take with a grain of salt - many of them are disgruntled morons that are too stupid to read the directions and get pissed off when they can't figure out how to get it to work. Those are typically easy to single out, though.
