TheTrueDarkOne Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 (edited) Ok, there is G & B..Im gonna buy mine today. Which one should i getThe main internet line is into the desktop ( the one im on).. I need a router so that other computers ( Laptops) can get acces in and around my house. The cheapest possible I remember along time ago i read up on G & B but i never really payed attention. So any reccomendations are greatly appreciated Edited November 27, 2005 by TheTrueDarkOne Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubba Bob Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 So, i guess it depends on what you are using it for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CurlingSteve Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 (edited) My vote? G, especially if you're going to copy files from machine to machine.B is sufficient for internet communication, but agonizingly slow for file transfers.And these days, G doesn't cost much more (if at all).Nice chart Bubba Bob.

Bubba Bob Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 (edited) IMO i wouldnt buy any of those. 2 are refurbished, 2 are off brands, and 1 isnt wireless at all. lol See what Steve thinks, but Id go with something like this.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16833124010For maybe $5-$10 more you could get a decent router from Walmart/Best Buy/Circut City...

CurlingSteve Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 I have nothing but praise for the WRT54G.I have one and love it.I had a Netgear (I forget he model) at first and had nothing but trouble with it.I was having to power-cycle everything several times a day to keep connected.Keep in mind, that was my first router/networking experience so the problems may have been my fault.But when I tried the Linksys, everything ran fine from day one.I use Linksys exclusively now.That's a good price for the WRT54G.Circuit City shows it for $70, but there's a $30 mail-in rebate so it's $40 net.I assume you would get the same rebate buying through NewEgg.Go for it.

xxkbxx Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 I've also got the WRT45G, a little bit of driver problems (at least with mine that I purchased around 6 months ago) SAVE SOME TIME AND GO ON THE WEBSITE AND GET DRIVERS BEFORE YOU CALL INDIAN TECH SUPPORT! I believe the website was linksys.com/easy and it fixed the problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
