Could someone give me some advice on purchasing a wireless router?

I need to buy a wireless router to set up wireless use for a new laptop in my home. The laptop has an Intel 4965AGN Wireless-N Mini Card. I know that this ';n'; technology is supposed to be faster have have more range, but I'm having trouble figuring out what I need to get. I want it to be as fast as possible. Thanks for any recommendations.Could someone give me some advice on purchasing a wireless router?
All a router does is split the signal of your internet. However, the speed (b, g, n) of the signal sent is critical. If you have a ';n'; adapter, go for a router that has the capability of sending an ';n'; signal. I like Linksys or D-Link routers for their performance and ease of set-up. You should need only the router, but if you want to connect another computer to it with a wired set up, you may need an ethernet cable long enough to get from the router to the computer.Could someone give me some advice on purchasing a wireless router?
if you want a pretty decent one where you dont use it alot but when u do use it u want it to be there


then i suggest linksys or netgear


if you want one thats ....


then i suggest the livebox


basically the more exspensive and the usually bigger are the better


i currently am using netgear and livebox at my gfs house
Any wireless router will be ok, it just depends on the speed of your internet, if you got like 20mb then it will be fast - it's not really much to do with the router they all work the same ...





If you're having trouble then go to a PC store and ask them what would be the best choice for you
As soon as you go ';wireless';, the speed drops... so that becomes an mute point unless your some kind of major gamer or something, and then wireless is not desired at all. Even ';kids games'; will run slower ';wireless'; to the point of 8 y.o.'s complaining. An old ';a'; card will be as fast or almost as fast - in real life, because they don't always connect at their maximun speed initially nor continuously - IF your modem willl connect to it. (most will not because most new ';n'; modems don't bother to transmit on the ';a'; frequencys any more; ';yesterdays news';, I suppose they figure.


Anyway:


I've tryed to use several brands. With Linksys, I have had absolutely no problems... except when it needs set up in ';bridge'; mode with Verizon DSL in some areas of the USA for instance. For that, you might want to consider just paying your DSL provider the extra few bucks (over their regular modem price) and let it fly. For example,


Verizon will, upon a successful call to a rep. ';take control of your computer'; and you sit back and watch them set it up for you... with your permission, of course.


You can set it up yourself, but why? I've watched ';even the best'; pull their hair out over it - saying ';yeah, I can do that for you, no problem';, over and over, for 45 minutes or so - over the last couple years.. Why bother?


Your computer should find your modem all by itself - you just have to enter the password if you choose to run a secure system. AT%26amp;T, for instance, will only wrk ';secure'; with their DSL - that I know of.


From my viewpoint, your DSL provider can provide you with the best bang for you buck if you tell them what you want when you order it. Somehow the hours of waitng for internet service just because of one setting or oversight isn't worth it.
Call your phone company and ask them about it....or go to Wal-mart and bye one you might also need a ethernet thing...if u have to get the ethernet it goes next to your masterboard (on the computer you are running off of). i have a broad band router and i love it my enternet is so fast....i hope this works.
