My power adapter for my wirless router died and now i need to get a new one. I have been told not to get a linksys because the have problems with port forwarding and with DMZ. Thus i need some suggestions in my quest to getting a wireless router.

Thanks

get a netgear

Ok. I'll look into netgear. is there any perticular reason why?

I am currntly looking at a TrendNET product because they have 3yr warrenty and can be extended to 6 years if i purchase it right.

im using netgear. it pretty good.(i got the router free from sky broadband)

I got a 2wire (2701HG-B Gateway). I never saw a problem (Besides me unplugging it). The only other small problem it has a Short radius. I walk about 30 steps from my house and I lose signal (on DS). It is a little better for my laptop, but not much.

Well I have a Linksys WRT54GX2, It cost about 130 bucks, but it has excellent range, and seems not to lock up under heavy networking like the WRT54G. It also has security options like WPA2 with TKIP and AES, built-in firewalls, and MAC filtering.
The router uses MIMO technology, so if you want to take advantage of it, without paying too much for it, you can do that with this router.

Well i am thinking of getting a USB WIFI adapter for my Laptop that allows me to plug a directional Antanne to it so i can use peoples unencrypted WIFI.

@Flamestar666 Read my first post. I am not getting a linksys. I have had port problems with them and they have Fucked up my DSL modem.

2wire FTW!

Heh, my friend HAD one of those... He said it broke from blinking too much. Iced tea, was it's fatal death...

O_O I had one. The power adapter burnt out on it and it didn't do port forwarding regardless of how i set the settings in the bios/firmware.

I read the first post. But apparently you don't keep your story straight.

Did you actually have that same one, or the WRT54G with all it's problems?

Question, did you ever bother updating the firmware?


?man, I agree, that is one might fine router if you plan on flashing it.

No, you had a WRT54G. This is a WRT54GL. They are very different on the inside, even though they look the same on the outside. The bad ones are WRT54G version 5 and 6. The older ones are solid, and the GLs are all solid.

That and the IP caching caused the WRT54G to lock up quickly in V 4,5, and 6.

Flashing? Hmm. Oh and yes i updated the Firmware. But a lot of good it does me now that the power adapter is dead. I will look into this Wireless router you are sugessting ?man. I have been told some things about you. I respect your opinion and am glad you posted here.

Ok i am going to take ?man, Para's, Dlong, Flamestar666, and Liquidmanzero's suggestion and buy the WRT54GL. My question for you is how long of a replacement warrenty should i get along with it. 1YR or 2YR?

None. It isn't worth it.
