I am trying to do a survey, on what personal routers are in use out there and why did you choose it. ? I have always been interested in what routers people use and why. Also is price of concern ? I would like to sell routers on my ecommerce shop that I am building and would really like to know what people would buy so that I am selling the right thing. So let me start, I am using a DRAYTEK 2600VG router which is wireless and offers VoIP. Of all the routers I have tried this definatly offers the best features but it costs a lot more than most of the routers out there

I'm using 2 Repotecs at home. They work and they are less than a 3Com or big brand. I only care about what works... ------------- http://renegademinds.com/" rel="nofollow - Renegade Minds - Guitar Software http://renegademinds.com/Default.aspx?tabid=65" rel="nofollow - Slow Down Music |

I've just got a Belkin ADSL Modem with Built in Wireless Router for 69 UK Pounds. Why? Because my US Robotics External USB ADSL Modem, after having it a year and a bit, decided that it was going to drop my line very few minutes in the hot weather!! So I decided to go for an ADSL Modem router so that I don't have to have my PC on when I want to use the Internet on my laptop. The router has 4 RJ45 ports for my wired network, and the only reason why I spent a few pounds extra on the wireless part is incase I ever get the money to upgrade to a wireless PCMCA card for my old laptop. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Cool thanks all of you for your replies. It seems like everyone has a different router, it is just very interesting to see what is out there..

If I was selling routers for home networking, I'd check out PC Magazine for their Editors Choices. Also look at the home networking packages offered by the big ISP's in your area. - e.g. The local Telco in my area offers a home network DSL package but the routers and modems are almost full list price, so people whith enough knowledge to know what a router is buy it elsewhere - same for the cable TV company. -------------

I use the Linksys 802.11b wireless router (can't remember the model #) Why? I bought it when there was no wireless G. I actually don't even need Wireless G, as I have my 2 desktop PC's wired to the network. My laptop works fine with wireless B. I never really swap files wirelessly anyway. I do listen to music from my server desktop pc though...never had a hangup with that or watching video from it wirelessly. |
