We want one that will allows all three to be on line at the same time, with good speed (we are using telecom broadband only on desk top at present) Dont mind paying top $ so long as it works and is secure. |

Usually the Linksys Brand of routers work well. If you find there is certain areas that are a little low on signal strength you can always add in a repeater, this extends the signal from the original output source. SomethingLike this from Linksys (www.linksys.com) |

| 610439 | 2007-11-11 02:00:00 | I've used the new Linksys WAG325N (www-nz.linksys.com) in a few houses and they work great. All the houses have been double-story brick 'n' tile type with gib but one was a concrete house and the signal was pretty good in most of the house. Had to add one access point to reach the far end of the house. |

While they are slightly more expensive, its a great way to future proof and make sure that new gadgets are compatible and can take full advantage of their capabilities. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
