Just getting a new laptop that has wireless functionality. Currently have broadband installed. What would people recomend for a wireless router to optimise this option in the laptop?
The title of your post is a bit misleading since you are referring to wireless LAN networking here regardless of the type of broadband that you have installed (e.g. wireless, ADSL, cable etc.). Anyway this topic might contain some information of interest to you. I would recommend the Linksys router mentioned in there although I myself use a D-Link - also as mentioned in there. For what it's worth ITDirect in Parliament Street, Dublin 2 were selling a [broken link removed] for c. €79 up to recently and it is a very reliable and easy to use piece of kit.
Do you mean that you hacked the Linksys router to run [broken link removed] in place of the default firmware? Interesting but not really of interest to a WiFi newbie I would have assumed...
Satori is supposed to give the wrt54g better performance. Ive been tempted for a while to put it on but Ive never had less then 95% signal strength 3 rooms away from my router so havent bothered. Agreed with clubman tho, not for newbies I would have thought.
