Wireless routers

[Kilby]

The current Cisco routers actually use the Alcatel chipset for ADSL connectivity (installed 3 of them today)

i'd go for netgear and linksys first

Belkin are usually ok...

i don't use wireless anymore tho as my firewall doesn't like it, and it's easier to just run a wire from the server to my computer than to try and set up a wireless network, so i just left it

We have some weird belkin/netgear setup and it couldnt be shiteter. We always have to go unplug it every so often because it just stops working, and needs re-plugging to work again. We used to have just a single Netgear router which was also shite, so I definately wouldnt go for Netgear again from my experience..

Linksys do have a very helpful 'helpdesk' too - you speak to real people and they can usuall sort out your set up issues (if you have any)

One tip - think about the maximum range that you will have from the box to your laptop/PC - if they are close then a Wireless G device would be fine - if they are at opposite ends of the house/garden then you may need to consider a range extender or one of the new Wireless N devices.

My laptop can get a signal halfway down my road and i'm only using Wireless G...:lol:

Just depends what you have between the antenna and the computer - I have 3 brick walls and the only way that I can get it to work is to leave the doors open!
