Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 1493 Registered: May-07 | So my current wireless router took a poo and I don't know what to get. My current one is a Netgear WGR614 and it's about 2 years old. What is a good bang for your buck router? Will upgrading my modem help speed at all, since I have DSL and some cheap modem my ISP gave us. If it makes any difference I have a netgear 54mbps wireless card in my PC along with my Wii (which is wireless), but my other pc and xbox will be hardwired. Thanks for any help. |

I dont have n wireless yet either, only g but I like to have it available if i do. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124276 thats the POS linksys i had. i DO NOT recommend any of their new sh1t that looks like that. i have a friend who had trouble with it too. i'd go with the netgear i have. dlinks are okay. belkins are okay too. but netgear is what i'd stick with. |

I have one and with the custom software I can adjust output power and a whole lot more.
