Title: Wireless? Post by: TheZac268™ on July 20, 2010, 09:22:20 PM Alright, I need some peoples opinion about wireless routers. I have been super stressed out recently because of my LinkSys WRT54G wireless router, and I have had a different wireless router that was also a LinkSys and they both just quit working on me >:( And I have tried to fix them both 30+ times and all its doing is making me more pissed! So I want to know what you all use for yall's wireless routers. And btw if you even DARE to recommend a LinkSys router, I will personally kill you in my mind(not that effective to you but whatev) So just don't even mention LinkSys and how great they are! Cause to me they aint!!!! And don't try to tell me how to fix them either, I don't even want to touch the thing anymore... So what do yall use that is $100 and lower, thats RELIABLE ?

Title: Re: Wireless? Post by: DarkPikachu on July 20, 2010, 11:11:11 PM AT&T sucks... don't get it
however... my friend hasn't had a problem with his netgear... I'd suggest that :) Title: Re: Wireless? Post by: TheZac268™ on July 20, 2010, 11:19:26 PM I've read up on Neatgear in the past and everything I saw was about people complaining because they couldn't get it to work and stuff like that... I found a Belkin one on Amazon HERE (http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Wireless-Play-Router-F7D4301/dp/B003CJTNLS) and idk about it, all the reviews on BestBuy say thats its really good, but has anyone ever had problems with a Belkin before?
Title: Re: Wireless? Post by: DarkPikachu on July 20, 2010, 11:43:32 PM I've connected to a belkin before now that I recall...
I havn't had any problembs with it... but really... I'm lol-ing right now when you say linksys is a load of crap XD linksys was my favorite network to connect to before they moved... foced me to move to belkin which wasn't as good... but still good enough... but I see you don't like linksys, and you say netgear is rediculous so... I guess belkin would be the best on your end... Title: Re: Wireless? Post by: TheZac268™ on July 20, 2010, 11:51:18 PM I just have really bad luck with wireless routers my parents don't like the fact that I have a HUGE wire going from the computer to my room (on the oda side of the house) just so I can have internet for one thing at a time... I share a single wire with my PS3 and my laptop,that my sisters use because its faster than our home computer, so every time they wanna check there Myspace and Facebook, I have to turn off my PS3 for them to have internet... and I'm sick of neglecting my PS3 games... and my Wii doesn't even have internet anymore because I have no wireless! >:(
I just re-read that and noticed that it was extremely long ;D Title: Re: Wireless? Post by: ??_? on July 21, 2010, 06:05:44 AM I have a belkin N+ router next to me, works fine, I'm using it as a repeater though for the other belkin in my house, because that doesn't quite reach my wii
Title: Re: Wireless? Post by: TheZac268™ on July 21, 2010, 10:49:11 AM Okay, I'm going to go ahead and buy the Belkin one I found and see if it is good and if not I will just bring it back and find something else.
EDIT: For anyone who is reading this, I would definitely recommend getting a Belkin, I love it! It was fast and extremely simple to set up, I bought the Belkin Play Max router, and everything was already plugged in to the router straight out of the box! And setting it up on the computer was simple! It has some awesome features too! It can send out auido, video, and photos wirelessly from the computer that its set up to. So now when i have to cut grass and i don't have some songs on my Zune(like an Ipod) i can just set it to send out those songs that i don't have and I can stream them off of my Zune. My PS3 also picks it them up too! I played online today, on Brawl, for the first time and there was NO! lag at all!!!! OMG that was the best part!!! I played with four people and there was NO lag! I am going to try playing Modern Warfare on my PS3 today or tonight, to see how bad the lag is, my hopes are that there won't be any. |
