need a wireless router, any recommendations???

gracias hehe

I'd get a wired router and spend that bit of time running cables around. Unless you're fairly proficcient with computers and know how to secure and encrypt the wireless setup, I wouldnt do it.

i'm asking for a wireless one for a reason. there's not much to do with the whole encryption thing, plus no one is gonna leech of me regardless. not worried about that.

which would you recommend, kneegrow?

Posted by jdat on Apr-02-2006 16:36:

The standard:
Linksys WRT54G

you can even install a hacked firmware to do more things with it.

I have one and also many people I know.

If you search on forums and stuff you'll find this is one of the best in peoples mind.

Linksys WRT54G

Just got a Linksys WAG356G and I'm impressed with it so far. It's for ADSL not cable though.

Linksys is the standard.

Linksys WRT54G + DD-WRT!

= ownage.

I would go with the linksys too. Ive had trouble with netgear in the past and a couple of friends have also had trouble with them.

Posted by _Ocean_Drive_ on Apr-02-2006 19:19:

Netgear without a doubt ftw.

DO NOT,
I REPEAT
DO NOT, go with the Linksys ROUTERS.

I have this misfortune of beingbehind one on an NTL cable connection.

Used so many different types of hacked and unofficial firmware and it's still a big pile of... rubbish!

netgear i hear is amazing but there are still some people saying linksys im confused heh.

Posted by yujie__ on Apr-03-2006 02:08:

wrt54g v 3.0 - 4.0 with dd-wrt 22r1 ftw

Posted by MSZ on Apr-03-2006 05:16:

Linksys had a rebate where you got that router and a network adapter (USB or PCMCIA) for 40 bucks or so. Of course, I never got mine....

It runs with an open source firmware so there are a lot of independent projects to expand it's basic router capabilities making it as good as products that are 10 times more expensive.

I'm using Speedtouch 585 and loving it. The best router I've had, by far!

Posted by yujie__ on Apr-03-2006 23:59:

v1-v4 >* v5 of wrt54g www.linksysinfo.org

Posted by Lepanto on Apr-18-2006 16:49:

hey y'all i just got the linksys and set it up to my computer. how do i set up the other comp to connect wireless?

Posted by EarnYourKeep on Apr-18-2006 17:01:

i dont understand how people say Linksys is crap - Linksys has been bought by Cisco, should that even mean anything router wise???

Cisco is basically the number 1..actually nevermind, it's CISCO for the sake of god, they even have certification exams not to mention the specifics that jdizzle said, open source firmware for contracted independant code writers, i've seen some indepth routing and switching from converted cable routers.

huge fan of the pix(ie) firewall and arrowpoint =)

Posted by Lepanto on Apr-18-2006 17:06:

so how do i connect the other comp to this one with the router?
