Routers, anyone?
Does anyone have a (current) favorite router they would recommend? I want to use a MBP, circa 2008, located on the same level and about 50' from an iMac/ISP terminal. There is an intervening wall containing metal lath and stacked washer-dtyer in back of it. I don't know if that would be a negative factor or not and would like an opinion.
I have been touted on D-Link routers, which have good and bad reviews; however, all of the other routers, I've looked online for also have good and bad reviews. Frustrating.
Any suggestions? I don't need a lot of bells and whistles, but I would like a decent quality appliance.
Thanks

Every router that I have owned including my current Cisco Linksys E3000 except one have been LInksys routers. They work well, but tend to crap-out after 18 months or so. I thought that was normal. My next router will be an Apple Airport Extreme or whatever replaces the Airport Extreme. Airports just work and last forever. In terms of price, the Airport Extreme is in the same range as my current Linksys.
I'm biased though. I had purchased a bum AEBS on closeout when a chain was going out of business and the local Apple Store replaced it on the spot anyway rather than make me go through the hassle of repair.
Whatever the difference in technical merits the quality of service from my Apple Store trumps that.
but it kept losing connections requiring multiple sign ins during the day especially my iphone
went to sams and bought the E4200 linksys not as easy, harder to set for dual band took more time
BUT MUCH MORE STABLE
get a linksys, avoid belkin
i'd get linksys or apple done simple, easy
I've notice that there are USB gadgets that are supposedly to enhance the signal; they are around 10 to 20 bucks. Does anyone have experience with one of these? Would you recommend one?
Thanks
using the dual band requires you to go advanced
if only cisco could learn from vizio about set up
