Router recommendations

beneteau

Wife just bought a wireless laptop and my current router is not wireless; therefore, I need a wireless router for her laptop plus LAN connections for 2 hardwired desktops. Windows XP and Windows 7 compatible. A USB port in case I, eventually, purchase a wireless printer. Currently, I'm kinda interested in the Belkin N600DB which is about $70.00.

Any other suggestions?

I have a CISCO Linksys E200 that supports flawless (thus far) wireless connectivity on 4 laptops. IIRC, I paid $60 at Office Depot.

ADDED: I do not remember the models but the last 2 I have were Belkins and both lasted ~year when it started giving problems.

LINKSYS

Or go directly to a CISCO Linksys "Access point".

Those will leave the Belkin crying on the sideway.

After going through 3 Netgear routers and 2 Belkins, I've had this Linksys running for 3 years with no problems.

I have the extended range antennas on mine. It will let me have access all over the house and outside. Don

I've had the exact same one.

Easy to set up, gives great performance and will just keep on working and working.



Went for a Cisco Linksys Access Point myself though, which is great for improved range or buildings with a lot of walls.

Linksys like the one in the link, will cover 99% of everyones needs =o)

+1 on that.

No complaints on my Arris TG852. Never could get my Netgear to work reliably.

I've had real good luck with Linksys. don't know the model, but I've had it about 3 years with no problems.

best i have seen is "2wire" brand, i have had 3 wired puters, 2 wireless puters, xbox, ps3, 2 ipods, 1 iphone working together, no issues, my favorite part which is the most important in my opinion, is the interface, i can bring it up with ease and lock,view or change any device on my network, its very simple and legible to understand, its plug and go, default password is the serial number, and changeable if you wish , not as easy to get into as others that have difficulty understanding how they work or how to change the default password typically Admin, admin, admin1 or as easy as this to find
