623656	2007-12-22 20:57:00	Hi all Has someone of you tried the new generation Router/modems? Any better than the previous wag 54gpp2? Which other ones would be worthwhile looking at? How are the compatibilities with existing wireless cards? Distance range improvement? Suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks NT	notechyet (4479)

It may also depend on WHERE (or how far they are, from this router, if you decided to buy it) these other computers are in the house, and whether there's something in between this router and these computers (like a wall). The Pre-N adapters would probably get a signal through a wall somehow, but older wireless adapters / cards may not. I guess a good aerial would help too. Wireless isnt really that slow. All you have to do, is to make sure its secure.	Speedy Gonzales (78)

It has to get through wall and floor and I thought a "machine" with biger range would have the better signal and therefore more reliable in strength?! Somewhere I read that those new ones are supposedly better? NT	notechyet (4479)
