Recommendations please for wireless router
-
I am looking for a new one after an unfortunate accident involving a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea. (Choked on sandwich, coughed and spilt the tea all over the router). I need something cheap and easy, so thought of a Belkin 54g, but anyone got any comments or advice?

My advice is - eat your sandwiches more slowly! ;P

Ok, my first thought was, you're talking about Jim Crafton, then I read the rest of what you said ... I highly recommend LinkSys routers. I have one and it's been great. Gets excellent range, has a really good feature set, and was a snap to set-up.

Everyone's a bloody comedian! :) Better advice: Don't put cups of tea near technology! (It is not the first time either!) I bet there are loads of people here who have had to purchase new keyboards because of coke/coffee etc.

Thanks, I will look at it this evening, (off to PC World to be ignored by whiskerless spotty-faced youths), so I will undertake a mission to investigate the options.

how cheap is cheap? for low end rounters Belkin 54g is good one (around $40). I've being using one for long time with no issues. If you can fork some more (and there is a need) Look for N Routers (around $70). I've being thinking upgrading. While the G router works great, in some corners of the house, the signal strength could be improved. Belkin N Rounter[^]
Yusuf Oh didn't you notice, analogous to square roots, they recently introduced rectangular, circular, and diamond roots to determine the size of the corresponding shapes when given the area. Luc Pattyn[^]

How is it that your router is at such a low level, that this could happen? Or are you made to use a high-chair at home?

On a table? My wireless a/p, once acquired, will see both it and my ADSL router on the 1' high phone table in the lounge.

Ditto. I've always been happy with LinkSys. I've owned about 4 different versions of their routers at various stages.

If you're in the US, I have a Netgear you can have for the cost of shipping. In fact, I have a number of routers sitting in their boxes not being used. I was intending to throw them in the garbage, but if anyone is interested, I can list what I have... Off the top of my head, I have a Xincomm, a Netopia, and the NetGear, and maybe one more.

Ahem! I am thickly sliced, covered on the inside with butter and containing crispy grilled bacon coated with brown sauce. How can I leave a bad taste?

You didn't give much information and the topic is involved, as everything else. Do you need 54g or draft-n router? If you need n router, do you want 2.4GHz or 5GHz one? As I said, the topic is too involved to sum it up in a single post, so I'll refer you to smallnetbuilder website which I found most useful when I was searching for draft-n router for myself. That's the only website that actually opens up routers to see what's inside and that does detailed speed tests. http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/[^]

I was going to recommend against a Linksys router. One of the worse pieces of computer equipment I ever bought. They finally fixed some bugs in the firmware, but every now and then it gets in a totally messed up state. It would happen even more often except I turn all my computers routers and DSL modem off at night. (The irony is that Cisco owns Linksys and my old Cisco DSL/Router combo was rock solid reliable.)
