Re: [H] Wireless N router

[Soren]

I set up one of those for my dad some months ago, as they needed some more 
power (big old house with thick brick walls).

Works flawlessly, easy to setup, smooth internet connetion whereever in the 
house (using full encryption), with two laptops sharing only 1Mbit.

Cards in the laptops are D-Link 802.11n PCMCIA.

I would also be looking for a mini-pci card, USB, or PCMCIA or ?.  I would
prefer the mini-pci but I am open to other options.  Any recommendations
would be welcoem!  :-)

Thanks!

Which budget Linksys N router do you have?
WRT150N?

If yes, then you're in luck, you can install DD-WRT on it and experience
performance like never before :)

I've been waiting for the 855 myself. Version 2 (supposedly a better
chip)should be out next month...I think once the shipping and stock resumes,
the price should come down. I can say that Linksys WRT610N is a POS.

I did look at it but even though it is dual band it operates only on or the 

Other, not at the same time. And you have to manually select which band. A 

Dual band that I considered was the DIR-855 and while it seemed fantastic I 

Am not sure it is worth the cost. It is almost three times as expensive as 

The DIR-655. Is the performance and feature set worth the additional 

Cost?

It's a very good router but also consider the  DGL-4500, you may not
need/want dual band now but it's the future.

Agreed. I tried a budget Linksys N router and found that it was 
underpowered. I get signifigantly faster speeds with my Airport Extreme 
than the $99 Linksys I had.
