Recommend a good wireless router

[Trendnet18]

Need advice to buy a good wireless router
requirements: Wireless N, no need to have dual band, good connection signal and speed

[StGrim]

You have to state a budget..
If you don't have monetary limitations, I whole-heartedly recommend the Dlink DIR-855.
It's one of the most expensive routers out there but things are real quiet on the 5ghz band, where my wireless-N enabled laptops have excellent signals (>40% signal always) throughout the 3 levels of my place (router on 2nd level ). Signal strength for the rest of the G devices and N 2.4ghz devices are also strong. I love the very detailed help section on every single one of the DIR-855's options so you can custom configure it to yr liking cos you know exactly what each setting does. I usually have 3 devices (all on wireless) connected, and 12 at the maximum, but all are able to hit my theoretical maximum internet bandiwidth of 10mbps on speedtest.net. The last I heard, it was going at $288 at one of the Challenger's (can't remember which). Or else SLS prices are around ~$339.

Can i ask, how do you setup a wireless network in your house ? I'm going to move my comp to my room and need to go wireless.

Best if can position the router in the middle of your house (eg. living room?), then cable into your room. If sharing is not a concern then put the router in your room, best if you can mount on wall.

You can choose from anyone of these 3: Dlink 655, 825, or 855

[xBlackHawkx]

I strongly recommend D-Link DIR655.

Search for reviews to find out why its so good. :)

How much does it cost ? Because i want to set up a wireless network in my house and have no experience in it. Do you know where can i get a guide or something ?

[Trendnet18]

you can download from dlink website or u call the customer service
im getting a new one cuz my one broke

[Trendnet18]

ok prob get 655 no need 855 or 825 too high end as its only draft N atm...
how is the performance for mixed g b and n cuz i got psp sometimes want to go via psn dl stuff

[liangtam]

No. All 3 models are certified N.
All draft N models from ANY brand, you can cancel out the word 'draft'.

[Trendnet18]

well i saw 825 and 855 not so gd from users

655 so so only prob is setup and connection cannot maintain anyone got this prob ?
Just want to make sure before i buy

[liangtam]

I wonder where you got your comments
There are many different hardware revisions, firmware, factors etc for a single model in different countries.

[liangtam]

A bad place to look at then
You should look at the threads on this forum instead.
