    Hello GR, Today I come to you and tell you I found the best Wireless Router for my Network.

    I did buy a Linksys Wireless Router ->> Piece of S***!! Didn't work, bad setup and horrible speeds.. Took it back, and never looked at Linksys again. But, I do have a Linksys Cable Modem btw..





    PLEASE! If you want a Wireless Router, GET D-LINK!!

    I know I sound like a idiot, but I was soo happy and relaxed when D-Link worked on the 1st try. User friendly and everything


    Peace, out

    Thats awesome dude! although I prefer linksys. I did it all myself worked first try no problem, after some post installation tweaks to the network I'm now able to run 3 pcs my 360 hosting a 14 man match in rainbow six Vegas with no lag and more without ever lagging or skipping a beat. I've only used d-link once and never liked it but glad to see a good review about the 360 adapter since I've heard it sucks and used it once and I thought it was terrible

    yeah your right D-Link is the sh!t, i bought the D-Link WBR-2310 RangeBooster G Router and its alright with the occasional cut outs. Before it i had a this really shietty linksys router so once i got tired of it not being able to install the software and stuff got on my nevres. I also have a linksys cable modem. I'm thinkin about gettin one of the draft-n routers if its any better.

    your joking right? please say your joking, linksys has been in a downward spiral of bad products and tech support. Their tech support is almost clueless as to what problems you are having. As for the bad products many of the routers end up crapping out and need to be reboot everytime which means say good bye to your password, ssid and all that stuff. I will never go back to using a linksys router, theres other companies that make more reliable products like d-link or netgear.

    Well, don't buy the cheapest then... Linksys/Cisco routers are very good.

    I don't think there really is any "best" router, it really depends on the environment and needs of the user.

    I've used cheep routers and Iv'e used expensive ones. They're all really about the same.

    I've used a dirt cheap Netgear wireless router since We got DSL 2 years ago, works great. Finally found out how to secure with WEP it 6 months ago...

    An oxymoron (plural oxymora) is a figure of speech that combines two normally contradictory terms. -Wikipedia. :P

    Anyways, xelink is right.. There isn't a "best" router. The Linksys router you had was probably a cheap model. Besides, wireless N is better than wireless G.. which is probably what your Linksys was.
