My experience with the WRT54GX4 was great until I got a Duet. And the iPhone did not get along that great with it, either. The dual band WRT610N has operated flawlessly at all levels. Signal coverage is a bit compromised because of the internal antenna, but other than that there have been no issu

I posted on these issues before, but I'll repeat it here: - signal strength is not as important as the signal-to-noise-ratio!!! - n-routers are better, even if you only have g-clients. they have mimo technology for further range which helps g-clients too and a faster cpu which is the biggest bott

I returned the thing. Happily, I'd bought it a radio shack, not on the web, so they just scowled and took it back. Reinstalled my failing WRT54G and all the (new) problems are gone. So I'm pretty sure the WRT110 is not something you want to try! It's final trick was to suddenly change into a s
