Hey guys, i recently got a laptop for my birthday and i have been looking at a couple of routers, i was just wondering which router would be better, here are the 4 router suppliers i have found which seem to have a bigger and better range. I want a pretty good one so that i can sit anywhere around my home and still be able to connect to the internet (pretty quickly). Netgear Linksys Belkin D-link They are the 4 i have found, if anyone has heard of any of these could you please let me know which one in your opinion is the better one. Thanks guys.
Everyone I know uses Netgear, including the IT Department in the hospital where I work. Hope that helps you narrow it down a bit.
I use a linksys wireless g router. it worked fine for me with my wireless connection for my 360. how big is your house?
Its a pretty big house to be honest, ill be mainly using it in my bedroom (just across the landing from the computer room, 2 rooms away) and downstairs in my living room (which is almost directly underneath the computer room) so as long as i can get a good connection from those 2 rooms i should be ok.
Id get a netgear, the one i have is 100x better than my old linksys. The old linksys would just randomly disconnect for no reason on wireless and even through a ethernet cable. I have no problems what so ever with the netgear disconecting at all. The one i have is the Netgear Wireless N w/ Rangebooster & Gigabit.
im using d-link so does the comp lab at the faculty. but maybe because we cant find any netgear or linksys
I use a Belkin, and have never had any problems with it. I have never tried any of the others though, so I have no basis for comparison
I use Netgear... right now its screwing up but that's because we're using an ADSL router for an ADSL2+ connection, otherwise it's probably one of the most reliable brands.
You can't really choose between Belkin, Netgear etc. For example, Belkin's top product may be better than Netgear's mid-range product or vice versa. However, from past experience, I'd recommend Belkin. They're usually very good and I think they have a 24hr free phone support line! Otherwise, try one of the Netgear MIMO routers (I think it's the WPN824 from memory)...they have cool flashy lights on the top too
Well my brother uses D-Link and it isnt too bad. It works well for the small space he is in. If you want something to go through a big house though I suggest Netgear.
