| 597703 | 2007-10-03 22:03:00 | Linksys always seem to be popular - and work well. Something like This (www.pbtech.co.nz) | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 597704 | 2007-10-03 22:19:00 | Still Linksys but the newer model, slightly more expensive though www.ascent.co.nz |

| 597706 | 2007-10-03 23:19:00 | I've found the Dick Smith Electronic brand routers really good and reliable. I have seen over 5 of them fail this year, and the UI is unbelievably crap, worse than Dlink by a long shot. |

| 597709 | 2007-10-04 01:49:00 | I use a 3Com wireless router/firewall myself... have used a netgear one as well and they both worked really good. Still using the 3Com unit and I've had no problems with it.. the admin page is pretty straight forward and is has many configurable bits. Most of which I don't use. cheers |

| 597711 | 2007-10-04 02:03:00 | I bought a Linksys WAG200G a month or so ago. Absolute pig of a thing to set up (I am not the only one to say this!), but once going it's fine. One BIG downside for a wireless router is that it has no physical on-off switch (my old D-link had a push button on the back) so you have to unplug to reset etc and you have to go into the web interface to disable wireless (which I guess is standard for most of them) I'm just saying- think a bit about how you will use it. If you are only going to use the wireless part for a spare lap top now and then, it may not be a good idea if you can't disable the wireless and leave it running 24/7. |
