Protonium Posted December 20, 2006 CID Share Posted December 20, 2006 Hallo! Right now I'm using some crappy no-name switch but I just got a Wii and am looking to upgrade to a wireless router. Does anyone have any suggestions on what's a good thing to buy? I'm not looking for anything godlike, just the cheapest (relatively) router to get the job done lol. Please help! =P Thanks in advance! Btw if it matters, my internet connection is Rogers High-Speed Express which "claims" (lol) "Modem set-up of up to 5.0 Mbps download and 384 Kbps upload."

dlewis23 Posted December 20, 2006 CID Share Posted December 20, 2006 you can't go wrong with a dlink router. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833127028 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparticus Posted December 20, 2006 CID Share Posted December 20, 2006 I would reccomend to you the Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS WRT54G WRT54GS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug7272 Posted December 20, 2006 CID Share Posted December 20, 2006 I swore by Linksys until the last one I owned broke. Then the replacement broke. I intend to buy DLINK next time I buy one. BTW welcome to the site, hope you like it. How are you liking the Wii? What is your fav game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protonium Posted December 20, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 20, 2006 Thanks for the quick responses! I took a look at that D-link router but the comments turned me off =/. Linksys ones look alright though. Anything I should be looking out for in particular when buying a router? How does one differ from the next? The speeds? the 802.11g and 802.11b deal? Ports? lol Thanks for the welcome ! I'm loving the Wii it's so much damn fun lol especially with friends! I can't stop playing Super Monkey Ball right now lol although I was hooked on Zelda: TP not too long ago =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stop playing Super Monkey Ball right now lol although I was hooked on Zelda: TP not too long ago =P Glad you like it!! 802.11b is maxed out at 11mbps 802.11g can go up to 108 mbps Definitely buy a 802.11G I have the linksys WRT54G and it works great with forwarding ports! I used to play XBC alot and the ports that I forwarded worked like a charm! I've tried D-Link products before and I was not impressed.

Ryan314 Posted December 20, 2006 CID Share Posted December 20, 2006 My dlink router had problems with my psp, as well as my ps2. So i switched to linksys, and its flawless. Current linksys router is a wrt54gsv4 Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
