RE: [NF] Home Wireless router suggestions
When my wireless acts up, it has been due to another wi-fi router in the area broadcasting on the same channel. A hard reboot would clear it up for 10 minutes, maybe.

RE: [NF] Home Wireless router suggestions
Over the past 2 years I have been using ZyXEL P-330W Wifi Routers. Not only have they proven reliable, producing excellent range and performance, they are extremely flexible in configuration. For instance, I can set up a ZyXEL as a WiFi Router, with or without DHCP Server for LAN, as a simple swtch that allows the WiFi to work in a LAN as a WAP, as a bridge unit (must have 2 WAPs for this), or as a WiFi WAN enabled unit. Most other WiFi units I have come across are either WAPs or Wifi Routers, not configurable as one or the other. I carry a ZyXEL when I travel as they are so flexible, and more than once having that added felxibility was what gave me the edge in getting something done expediently with no further investment in hardware, or having to wait for the next busienss day and buying another piece of equipment.

Re: [NF] Home Wireless router suggestions
Lou: Long time no chat... Dump the Linksys and look for a Netgear box. I had exactly the same issues with a Linksys and no matter what it would lock up on our Cablevision system. So one day after the 5th or so reset (for the day) I bounced it off the wall and bought a Netgear box and haven't had an issue since (well over a year with no lockups). I did all the firmware updates, cleaned the connectors, run new quad shielded cable, had Cablevision over to check the line, blah, blah, blah and nothing fixed it. It still locked up. Look at Staples when they run a sale on the units and with coupons/rebates/rewards you can buy one for under $20. I think I paid $10 for mine. Trust me it isn't worth the issues to keep the Linksys (IMHO) with all the issues I had. Cisco should be ashamed of themselves! Regards, Jack Lou Syracuse wrote: Have had a Linksys for a while ..

That is so strange. I've had a Linksys WRT54G for 1 or 2 years and have never had a problem. I'm even running the factory firmware (upgraded to the latest of course).

RE: [NF] Home Wireless router suggestions
I had a DLink router and didn't like it very well. I then switched to Linksys and have had good luck with them for the couple of years I have used them. I am also using a Buffalo as a bridge to bring wired connection to a few network devices and computers such as my desktop, laptop, and a network laser printer. Buffalo seems to be doing an excellent job as well. I would definitely recommend both. As mentioned, what works for one person may not work for others.

I have tested that with a WiSpy Spectrum Analyzer unit, and it is amazing how much bouckground signal noise exists in the 2.4Ghz unlicensed spectrum. It can all cause problems. The best signal seems to be the one where the channel selected is for your WiFi solution is the one where your WiFi is shouting the loudest, so to say.

Re: [NF] Home Wireless router suggestions
My linksys routers have worked well. On the other hand, I've had a couple of DSL modems crap out... I buy these things from Compusa so that if it don't work I immediately get my money back - no questions asked... Lou Syracuse wrote: Have had a Linksys for a while .. HATE IT! Locks up constantly, has to be power-cycled several times a day. The wired-only Linksys router I worked great so i was expecting better - but this one has been nothing but trouble. I know I am not alone in having issues with it. Has been getting worse for the last week or so. it needs to go - now! Most of our wireless cards support 802.11g so that would be nice. Needs a few wired ports as well, gigbit is nice but not required as only my notebook has one. Any suggestions? dLink? newer Linksys? Something else?
