What router do you have?

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 a linksys wired router. Might go wireless once I get a laptop but the linksys is doing great right now.

I have a D Link wireless router, with a D Link Usb adapter on my other computer.

Since it isn't the fastest router...my other computer is slower.
...and yes sometimes when my internet goes out I have to restart my router....

That may have something to do with the built in firewall...
