Any recommendations on routers?
I was looking at the Linksys (currently $50 at Best Buy).
Does the one with Speed Booster do any good?

I have a Linksys that works okay but I have to power cycle it every 10 days or so. Never had that problem with my old D-Link. YMMV.

I have a Linksys WRT45G with two computers networked on it. Making sure it's in bridge mode cured the only complaint I've had with it. Otherwise, flawless.

Have it? or ordered it online? How much? $60 I was on the D-Link website and there is a $10 rebate so the cost is actually $50. |

No experience, so I can't comment personally. On CNet it gets a 7.2/10 in user ratings (no CNet editor review) Here, which, while not stellar, is not bad. One good, one decent review on Epinions here. Looks like it will probably be fine. Depending on where you bought it, go ahead and rip the cellophane, and give it a rip. Odds are decent if it doesn't work, you can always exchange. Good luck. |

Well I'm typing this reply from my Company laptop located in my kitchen. I was able to get the router setup very easily. However, when I stated to setup my wireless network I ran into a couple of errors afer 3 calls to tech support (2 of them dropped) I recycled the router and modem along with a reboot (my idea not tech support) I am up and running. The speed is better than my previous router.
The Wii was super easy to setup.
