| 261730 | 2004-08-14 11:10:00 | I'm looking at this Dynalink RTA770W wireless ADSL Router for a home network of 4 laptops sharing Jetstream ADSL Broadband Internet connection. Currently, there are 3 laptops in 3 different rooms (upstairs) and 1 laptop a room downstairs. They all will be using Dynalink PCMCIA wireless card. Any current users of the above hardware? How good they are? Your generous comments will be greatly appreciated. Cheers |

RTA770 seems to be a new Dynalink product and RTA300W is not easily available now. > If I was buying a ADSL Wireless router, I would > probably get that or the Linksys WAG54G. Which brand and model you are using or have used (and proven to be good)? Your recommendation will be appreciated. Cheers |

| 261734 | 2004-08-14 23:42:00 | I am using a Linksys WAG54G. I have it hardwired to my PC and wireless to one laptop. Range for the wireless is good and can be taken outside with no problems. I am in the country with no interference but no one can say what your place is going to be like. I have a problem with the wireless for some reason dropping the connection but it normally comes back on within a minute. Not sure why this is but it is something to do with the router. In saying that this is not a common problem and may not happen for days. If it continues a restart of the router fixes it for a while. | Berryb (654) | ||
| 261735 | 2004-08-27 02:42:00 | Certainly agree with Kiki on that one. My tests on the rta770 have been very good. Better range that the rta300 and easy enough to install. | hoopzta (150) | ||

I am looking at connecting a PC located on the upper floor of a double storey residential building. Don't really want to buy it and found that it won't work. Cheers |

| 261737 | 2004-08-30 01:47:00 | There is no easy answer regarding the range. Its totally dependent on the construction of the house and materials used. There is no way of determining just how it may perform. Only how it does. Until you try it, you will not know, but there is not a lot of difference between airpoints whan it comes to this, they all use the same frequencies and technologies, and all get blocked by the same building materials. |
