Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Wireless Router Recommendation

This is the one I picked up from Canada Computers. They have locations around Ontario. I see they actually have a location in Barrie.

The reviews I read were on the RT-N15 and 16. I figured the RT-N13 being in the same family, it should give similarly good performance.

This router is not necessarily a recommendation but if you dig a bit deeper in the articles, Maxpc did a review of a few wifi routers very recently including dlink and linksys offerings. It should be in their reviews section in the past month or two (in their online mag archives).

I got Apple's AirPort Express that is doing a great job at my place. I really like the feature called AirTunes and the possibility to share a printer but many router have that feature. The Airport Extreme offer more options like simultaneous dual-band. If you have a Mac the set-up is even easier and it works with both pc and mac

I just smoked my Router, a Linksys WRT160N v2. I tried to update the firmware and for some odd reason the router web page lost connection to the router right in the middle of the update.

I'd like to stick with the Linksys as I had to build a mount for it where my home network patch panel is.

When I was on the phone with Linksys tech support, I was told there is no way to fix it and they recommended an E model router that they just launched.

Does anyone know much about these?

That explains all the sale pricing as of late on their previous models; can't say I have heard anything about them.

Bump.

I am using an old WRT54G (no wireless N, and the model was before you could run DD-WRT on it). It's slow, old, and needs frequent rebooting.

I am considering replacing it.

I'm not sure if I need to run DD-WRT, but I feel like I am missing something. I also might like the idea of attaching some USB storage to it, or maybe a USB printer in the future.

I'm considering Linksys E3000, D-Link DIR-655 and ASUS RT-N16.

I know the D-Link doesn't run DD-WRT. I need good reliability and good wireless coverage.

Do I need that much router? Do you have recommendations? Am I overthinking this?

I bought a Linksys E4200 after _some_ research, but I haven't had a chance to open it yet.

I'm running the DIR-655 with no issues. Wow, I guess it's been almost two years since I got it. Time flies. It's located in the basement, and I've had no trouble with the signal anywhere in the house that I've tried a wireless device. My whole network is D-Link right now except for the cable modem.

I haven't used the USB port for storage or a printer, so I can't comment on that.

Wow, you guys really ARE "power users".

Hey! I have an NAS for storage and I also use that as my print server, so lay off! Of course, there are all of the other features it has that I haven't really looked into, but never mind that.
