Wired and Wireless NetworkingLearn to link several devices, such as computers, workstations, printers together for the purpose of sharing resources. Here youc an discuss WiFi (wireless) networking too.
I have a great router that I got for free from my ISP. They sent me a 2WIRE HomePortal and it works with about 10 wireless networks, and 4 corded networks at a time. I have 3 computer going through it right now and it is still letting me download files at about 2-5MB / second.
I have 2wire also! We plan on getting another computer in the future and wanted it so that one could be networked. The only problem I have is once in awhile it'll go down and you have to unplug the home portal for a few seconds and plug it back in. Sometimes that can be a pain.
I use a Netgear MR814v2 Wireless-B router. I bought it about a year and a half ago and since, I've not had a single problem. The routers interface is near perfect, port forwarding, WEP settings, everything about it seems great.
I have a netgear DG843g currently but i used an office connect in the past. The netgear is excellent, definately the best router i've ever used. Easy to setup and never fails.
The office connect however is probably the worst piece of hardware i have ever had the displeasure of owning, constantly resetting, and alway has problems with IP conflicts.:mad:
I have edimax wireless-G broadband router,and it's not that good,we used wireless at first,but we had too much problems with it,so we just use wires now,and we still have problems sometimes,it could be our ISP,but I still think it's the router.
I have one of the belkin routers, i love the thing, it works well, has 4 lan ports and alot of wireless client available, i have 3 computer on it at the moment, my brothers and my grandads laptop when he comes round.
