gEEEk Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I'm sorta ashamed to be asking such a basic question but my Belkin N Wireless router crapped out on me a couple of days ago and I'm considering replacing it. Since there is an enormous amount of routers on the market ATM I need some guidance to narrow the search down. - I need it to be stable, reliable and "fast" - Currently I get 24 Mbit down and 2,5 Mbit up, and I want don't want the router to bottleneck. - I need it to be able to handle up to 5-6 devices simultaneously. - Not in the "Cisco-pricerange" :P Do you guys have any recommendations as of which router I should get? /gEEEk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr-Protocol Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Have you not seen the episodes about building our own router ? :P That being said. I got myself a Linksys E2000 (All gigabit ethernet ports for my Cat5E wired house) and wireless N. Linksys has always shown me great control and options or if you really wanted you could flash with OpenWRT or DD-WRT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimmer Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Ya I have a 2Wire (AT&T, ugh) and it is decent sometimes craps out but redirects you to a nice interface that makes it easy to reboot (asks you for your password then ask if you are sure and that internet will be gone etc). It is decent though the wireless range isn't the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3%5kr3w Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) TBH I have always used linksys, but have also always had issues with linksys routers... Every belkin I have ever seen is crap (minus one or two), but on the same note, I have never seen a bad Netgear.. Just threw a D-link in for shipping to me so I guess we will see what that does. Everything sounds pretty good about it. I am currently using a WRT-54g v.6 running dd-wrt micro, but it's fudged to the extreme. Worked great for the past few years, but now it's crapped out so bad that I have had to set up my modem doing all the routing and connection management and the router will only work as a simple switch + AP...
