Wireless Router

Hi

I'm in the market for my first wireless router. I don't need ADSL but I like to have my bases covered so I'm going to opt for it on the router.

My question is simple, what router would you recommend? Which routers should be avoided?

This won't be a very dammanding network, just want to get rid of the wires going from my study through the living room to my second pc. Total distance of 15 meters at the very most.

Re: Wireless Router

i dont think adsl routers come with the necessary uplink port to connect to your existing cable/adsl modem - so if you dont need it, dont get it.
linksys ones are generally ok
avoid netgear imo.

Re: Wireless Router

yeah linksys are reliable. I use an Apple Airport Express. It has a connection so you can print wirelessly and you can play your mp3 collection on any radio in your home wirelessly. Never drops out, had it about a year.
