Was looking at this..good reviews on a few sites....looks like what I can use now and hopefully not have the same issues with my old one...


I was looking in to the DD-WRT but have no clue on what it does or how it makes anything better...




Thanks Guys!

Hey Shawn,
I've gone through a lot of wireless routers. I've had my best luck with Netgear, although Linksys is also good. I've worn out a few Linksys routers, only one Netgear.
Point is...
If you buy anything at all, buy from one of the top three.
I've never even heard of trendnet. I'd be scared to death it'll fry in a heartbeat.
Another thing...
If you go to your local Staples and buy a nice dlink or linksys router, odds are that if it smokes you can drive right down there and buy a direct replacement, possibly saving a lot of grief, especially if you're not all that computer savvy.
The difference between a rock-solid Linksys G router and an inexpensive Trendnet N router will "likely" end up being measured in aggravation before too long.
By likely, I mean you can bank on it. Especially if you depend on your router.
