Tom AZ Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I'm looking for a good and reliable, but very reasonably priced wireless router. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhawk Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Walmart have some nice wireless routers for $40 or less so I'm sure you'll find something relatively cheap. I can't really recommend brands since I only own a LINKSYS WRT54GS router and it hasn't let me down yet. A friend of mine recently bought a $40 Neargear for his laptop + Wii via Roadrunner and seems very happy with it. There are other brands too but if you want feedback go to Amazon.com and read the product comment pages. A few things to consider: Connection type - DSL or Cable, if your modem has a ethernet port then you need a cable router. Speed G or N - (N is backwards compatible with G and faster but can operate in the 5GHz band). The top speed of Wifi G or N only applies to machines running in a local network. if your broadband connection is 10megs then internet access via Wifi or G or N would still be 10megs. Richard S.

Majestic Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Another purchase option is to check out E-Bay or the Computer section of your local Craigslist. I've gotten some very nice LinkSys WRT54G wireless routers off both those site for $20 or less. I have found that brand & model to be less problematic than the rest.

Moderators DennisD Posted January 9, 2011 Moderators Share Posted January 9, 2011 I bought myself a Belkin G Wireless ADSL Modem Router a while ago, and have had trouble free performance from it. Not worth supplying a link as the model is now discontinued. While solving a problem recently which I thought was the Router and turned out to be my ISP, I received very prompt and very good service from their help centre.
