Which Router

Which router should I buy? My Netgear one is 4 years old now, and I'm thinking about upgrading.

Please tell me why you picked what you did :D

Thanks!

[EDIT]Found a potential upgrade problem. Existing router is 802.11b, and new ones are 802.11g.... Looking now for my adapters compatibility...[/EDIT]

Linksys Wireless G -

Picked because I have a linksys router and WLAN and they have been 100% perfect for 5 years. Very reliable equipment.

I would chose an other option...

I would go for a US Robotics router all the kit I've had from them has been very reliable. The first hub I had was a Netgear very unreliable (but that was when 10 Megabits was the standard :) )

OK, I found out that my adapters are also 802.11g compatible.

Thanks for your opinions, guys. Anyone else?

Linksys Wireless G...

I have one and it's great, reliable, and fast!

I had a Linksys Wireless B router but that had so many problems, but the WRT54GX is a hell of a lot better!

Just my opinion though, but I would look for reviews the routers you're looking at.

Hope the router you pick lasts and works without a problem!
