wireless routers
 

My current linksys router licks balls, Drops the signal like every 10 minutes and i have to go down stairs to reset the damn thing. I'm looking for a new one that will give me good signal in my room. House is like a 3000sqft home and i need it to get from one end of the house down stairs to my room upstairs. What kind of wireless router are you using and how much did you pay, and obviously how good does it work. Money really isn't an option but if its going to cost an arm and a ------- leg don't even mention it :7

Re: wireless routers
 

my netgear works perfectly. was worth the 20 bucks from comp usa. plus my old linksys did the same ---- yours does. i dont know what the problem is with most routers where you have to reset that ---- every fucken day.

Linkless = :7 :3
Niggear = :S :)
Belkin = :1 :-\

Re: wireless routers
 

Attach a directional antenna to your router and point it to your computer. It should amp the signal to make a difference.

And if anybody doesn't know yet, Fon (www.fon.com) is selling Linksys WRT54G wireless routers for $13 shipped.

Wireless routers are the most unreliable pieces of ----...id say they around a year

for my clients and myself, i only use llinksys. altho ive had the same experiences that you have had with them, they seem to do it less often than other brands. they may be more expensive but i think they are worth it

what ever you do, dont buiy a dlink

Re: wireless routers
 

Linsys WRT54GC and get a booster antenna for it.

Re: wireless routers
 

yeah i've seen some routers that come with the booster thing. does that ---- really work or is it a gimmick to get you to buy their ----. It works fine at first. then i have to reset every 10 mins sometimes and that gets ------- annoying :-\. The router i bought was on sale, maybe there was a reason for it :-X and i'm not to familiar with wireless crap but i dont think i can use a wireless g router with my wireless b cards correct?

Re: wireless routers
 

nah they actually work.

if you could find a WRT54GL (Linux Version) you can flash the BIOS w/ a modified version and can even increase the signal strength.

any SMA antenna should work w/ it.

Re: wireless routers
 

but would i have to get a 802.11b/g router so it works with my cards or will a wireless g router work with my wireless b cards? How often do you reset yours if you even have to?
