G+_Marlon Thompson Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Know it alls can I get some recommendations for wireless routers. It will mainly be used for regular web browsing, HD Streaming of movies and were looking at about 2 -3 connected devices aside from the main desktop. Any tips on what I should look for in buying a router would also be helpful. Price range is flexible but I am looking for value for money.

G+_Joe Sears Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I switched from Linksys (WRT54G) to a 5th gen Apple Airport Extreme (refurbished). I got mine on Amazon, refurbished for $99. If you can find a refurb, or one on sale, well worth the money. 5th gen only does A, B, and G wireless, but its fast enough on my 50/5 cable modem. Has 2.4 and 5 GHz, as well as main and guest networks. When my brother and his family visit, I notice no slowdown. ? WPA2 with no WPS is nice too. ?

G+_Mumma Bear Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Not much I them it all depends on the settings you choose. Try D, link... supports N WPS is nice but not essential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
