| 555380 | 2007-06-02 09:41:00 | I have been having major problems with a D-Link DSL-G604t Gen II wireless router and have finally decided to try another brand. I would appreciate any recommendations or good experience stories for a Wireless G Router/Modem 4 port switch, that is preferably ADSL2+ compatible as well. Many thanks. M. |

| 555381 | 2007-06-02 11:00:00 | I love Linksys routers so maybe a WRT54G or a newer pre-n version that'll support ADSL2+. Anyway, linksys routers are very stable, great customer service and are secure and easy to use. I'm sure someone will tell you a good model to buy. |

| 555382 | 2007-06-02 12:07:00 | I have the above recommended linksys and I'll second it - it is extremely easy to cofigure, has all the built in security you will require and is extremely stable. Works fine with laptop with linkys PMCIA card, desktop with linksys PCI card and laptop with integrated intelwireless with no hassles at all. n wasn't available at that time and g was the way to go. |

| 555383 | 2007-06-02 13:13:00 | Go for a Linksys WAG200G. Awesome unit. Easy to set up. Great coverage on wireless network. Not 802.11n but still a great unit. The 802.11n won't be finalised until 2009 so I wouldn't go for one of them as the standard may change. Plus you need to have a 802.11n wireless card as well to get the benefits. |

| 555384 | 2007-06-02 19:35:00 | I agree with the above, but as an alternative look at Belkin and Netgear For a pratical example, my son had a DLINK and his DELL laptop had to be in the same room whereas his wifes iBOOK was fine in other rooms . He replaced the DLink with a Netgear and can use his Dell anywhere including some distance outside his house . Netgear, Belkin and Linksys have all had good reviews |

| 555386 | 2007-06-02 21:48:00 | Guys recommending the Linksys WRT54G this is NOT a modem, it is a wireless broadband router/switch :) I have a Linksys WAG54G and I have never had an issue with it, A_LOT better than the old D-Link I had... |

| 555387 | 2007-06-03 08:32:00 | My linksys unit is a WAG54GP2 - range could be better, but only because I want it to work out in my workshop about 50m away and it doesn't. Works fine in every room of the house (including upstairs). | echothreezero (6612) | ||
| 555388 | 2007-06-04 08:19:00 | So if I had the Linksys WRT54G or Linksys WRT54GL I would also need a separate modem to connect to the internet? And would something like the Linksys WAG200G would be more comparable to the D-Link DSL-G604T Gen2 in the way of features? Cheers . M . |

Yup similar products in that they are both ADSL modems as well as wireless access points / routers . I've used both and the Linksys is much better, more features / tweaking options and better wireless range . |
