    Good wireless router

    My boss is after a new wireless router.

    It's a pretty big house, with pretty thick walls...

    any of you student bums use your computer on the top floor where the router is connected downstairs?

    Need a reliable one with good range.

    Not a Netgear, since they are dismal.

    Was thinking of the belkin Pre-N - anybody got any experience with this?

    Ta.

    Thats the thing!

    The best experience i have with wireless routers are the ones provided by the ISP. Like the new BT gear for example, it just works...

    Do you still get good range from the Pre-N even with a G card?

    ManOf....dont get it?

    I've chosen the Belkin N1, installing it later will post back the results.

    I use boxes from 2wire - awesome wireless coverage and u can ramp the signal strength up via the interface. i can get right out into the garden with mine and the box is upstairs in my room against a wall at the front of the house.

    well the range on the belkin is superb but the usual problems with the encrpytion not working with yet another built in wireless card were there. Did not work with 64 or 128 bit wep, WPA or WPA2....

    If you get the matching adapter however, apparently these issues are not a problem.
