Wireless Router Recommendations

[Dr. Gonzo]

I am upgrading my shitty netgear wireless router and would like to know what everybody uses and would recommend. I have 2 laptops, an ipod and a ps3 that I have using the wireless internet.

I got that one, after my old one broke I read actual user reviews and found this one was well received. This is what is hook up to it,

1 PC with magicjack phone on 24-7 (wired)
1 Blackberry hook via wifi
2 PSP's (wireless B)
2 DS's (wireless G)
1 PS3 (wired)
2 Xbox (1 wired, 1 wireless bridge G)
2 Laptops (wireless N)

Just now i was on Xbox live and DLing a torrent and I got a call threw magicjack and it was clear. Of course it also matters what Internet you have.
I have Time Warner's fastest package.

Linksys WRT54G2, $40 @ BB

PS3 and Macbook have run flawlessly for over a year.

I have an old D-link wireless that I have had about four years and never had a problem with. I run my computer, laptop, wii, xbox and my android phone on it. So i recommend d-link

I have a wireless Linksys WRT160 N

Works very well, except that I have to unplug it once a week for 30 seconds (on average, I lose signal once a week)

1 laptop
1 PS3
and on occasion my Iphone

I use a Linksys WirelessB(?)...fuck, I cant remember. Thing is dirt old and I constantly have to reset it like 4x a day.

I am a cheap ass.

That's the problem I am having and it pisses me off. That's the reason for the upgrade.

Will I see a big speed jump going from a G to an N?

If you like using third-party firmware (for example, Tomato), I would recommend the ASUS WL-520gU (http://usa.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=cOWUB0XOSysr4sBM&templete=2) (802.11g) and the ASUS RT-N16 (http://usa.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=WAa6AQFncrceRBEo&templete=2) (802.11n).

I will have to say a big ol' fat YES. I was taken by surprise at the speed that N has over G.

I just bought a D-Link DIR-601 for $40+tax at Office Depot. It was a little screwy setting it up, but works like a dream compared to my old one.

I just bought a Belkin N+ Wireless Router (http://www.google.com/products/catalog?client=safari&rls=en&q=belkin+n%2B+wireless+router&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=16330696765759563451&ei=EmXeS_mkDIuG9ATf9IXLBw&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CCIQ8wIwAg#ps-sellers) yesterday to replace my old DLink...

It has 4 gigabit ports for the wired net and does 802.11n/b/g... It's not dual band though. It does have a USB plug to share a network drive or a USB printer.

I have Wired (I have one 4 port switch in one of the inputs):
- Mac
- PC
- Slingplayer
- Vip 622
- Laser Printer
- Popcorn Hour
- Xbox 360

Wireless:
- 2 iPhones
- 3G + Wifi iPad
- iPod Touch
- Wii

It was $80 at OfficeMax, and super easy to configure and secure.
