recommended routers

ok in the market for a new wireless router, the sympatico garbage ass one we have simply inst cutting it any more (no signal in garage/MBR). I tried a DLink D624 a while back, but had nothing but issues (PS2 Wouldnt connect, customer supprt from dlink/sony/sympatico was NO help)

Was wondering what everyone else is using, how easily it was to get PS2 to connect/ any issues /etc...

Get yourself a linksys G with speed boost and youll be fine. office depot $69

If you plan on doing any torrent downloading Avoid Linksys they have a tendency to hold open packets, and bottle neck your system and always require a power cycle.

That is what I use... Works great! I have it hard wired to my PS3 and wireless to my computer.

 

I have the Linksys Wireless-G connected to my computer to get the wireless. Works flawlessly.

Linksys has damned EXCELLENT customer support too.

I had Linksys for a while and had some spotted problems here and there.

When I went to MicroCenter, the sales assoc. there talked me into getting a Buffalo wireless system.

That was about 2 yrs ago, and I have had great luck with it.

The sales assoc. there told me that there are some specifications to the Buffalo that make it excellent in an online gamer's perspective, as that was the main focus I told him I had in mind for my wireless connection. I was careful about it, as I had not heard about Buffalo before, be he swore up and down on their reliability and quality, and from the store, I checked out their website.

 

I walked out with it....and never had to walk back in with problems.

if you want your router to be a gaming router its pretty easy to change the settings and make it optimal for next gen systems

I am still using a Linksys wireless G...But if you are going to buy one, you might as well be up to date and buy the Wireless N.

[Chili327]

I'd like to hear what Goat has to say about this as i am having problems lately also..!

 

I was thinking of the "Linksys Wireless G" also.

Might have to look into Buffalo..

 

 

Tow do you connect anything else to your router..?

 

I have:

PS2

360

2 PC's

Wii (wireless)

 

 

Paimei..

Is "N" the updated version of "G"..?

 

Anyone got more info on that.?

[[PHS] Pai_Mei]

Yes...the N is the newest version...better encryption, range, and compatability.

wow talk like that puts my 20 dollar belkin to shame LOL which has always worked fine for me, then again I don't eat drink and sleep computers

[[P~K]Detroit_Irish]

ok so i grabbed a WRT150N.. now im beating my head against the wall trying to connect

error the connection attempt has timed out

return to the netwrok settings menu

 

is going to be burned into my screen by the end of the week.

I opened up the correct ports (10070-10080 tcp and 10070 udp) the linksys help line told me to assign it to 192.168.1.5 and its enabled... but still no lick, and all they tell me to do is call Sony
