Linksys's Lightning fast wireless router

Advantages: Fast speeds, Reliable, Stylish
Disadvantages: I had wireless problems, Gets a bit warm, no restart router option in config

...The Linksys WAG160N N300 is an ADSL2+ wireless modem router, meaning it has a a modem built in. It is for use with BT Internet connections rather than for use with a Cable broadband connection (i.e. Virgin) although a Cable version is also available. It?s an ADSL2 router, which means it supports the newer ADSL standard, which could mean faster transfer speeds although this really depends on your line quality, distance from Exchange, service with ISP, etc. The router currently costs £74.99 from PC World but a bit less at £59.99 on their website. I bought mine about 8 months ago on Ebuyer for around £55. IN THE BOX You receive two ADSL filter s, RJ11 cable, user manual, manual and software CD, power adapter and lastly, the router itself. THE ROUTER ITSELF One thing I quite like about the router is that it looks quite...

Great Multimedia Wireless Router from Belkin

Advantages: Reliable, Fast, Easy to configure, Lots of features, USB for sharing drives
Disadvantages: Bit expensive, Not full speed with every machine

...INTRO The Belkin N+ router is one of the higher end (consumer) wireless modem router offerings from Belkin. It cost me £85 from PC World, but can probably be found for a bit less if you shop online. The Cable version costs a little less. Reason I bought this one was because two PCs in the house with wireless cards kept losing the wireless connection when I was using a Linksys router (my own PCs / laptops were fine though!). I replaced that with a second hand Belkin, which worked fine but unfortunately, a power cut killed the wireless on it. Liking the performance of that cheaper Belkin router, I decided to stick with Belkin and get this one! DESIGN The router looks very stylish and stands up tall rather than laid down flat. It doesn't appear to have been designed to be laid down flat like many other routers, which may be to...

Disadvantages: none

...This product is fantastic. I had no problems setting it up. Instant connection, has 1 wan port, 4 lan ports, 3 wireless aerials, and a power input. It has a massive range even through walls. My connection isnt fast enough to eve get close to the 100+ mbs this bad boy can produce. This router is awesome. Doesnt break, easy set up. Massive range, from a respected company. Wide support, and upgrade in firmware has fixed the bugs. I thought this product might be faulty when i got it, was a little worried, but this blew my expectations out the window. Featuring n, g, b and a connections means it a so versatile, i can have 4 connections all on different waves. I recommend this product to anyone who wants a reliable router that can produce an amazing connection that doesnt fail you. Buy this router it is reliable, cheap for its functionality...

NetGear DG834N Wireless Router

Advantages: Great stable router with great range and speed
Disadvantages: None found yet

...Picking a router is pretty difficult these days. There are an awful lot of routers out there and it is very, very difficult to choose the right one for you. The obvious things to consider are ? Price ? Ease of use/Ease of set up ? Speed ? Range ? After sales support The more technical would also consider the functionality offered. The DG834N ticks the right boxes in each of these areas. Out of the box the router looks rather sleek. It's a white box roughly the same size of a hardback book. Some yellowish flashing lights at the front inform you whether the router is switched on, whether it's connected to the internet, and whether it is transmitting a wireless signal. It also has no external aerials which I'll come back to in a moment. The router comes with the standard 4 Ethernet ports and supports both ADSL and ADSL2+ and as far as I...

Belkin N1 Vision MIMO Router

Advantages: Looks, Innovation, Ease Of Use
Disadvantages: Price

...to router and switch on. The setup wizard can be accessed wirelessly using the internet based installer, or for more security you can connect your computer to the router via ethernat and set it up that way, that is it. Within 10 minutes I had my network up and running on 2 Laptops, 1 PS3, 1 iPhone and 1 Wii. One problem I used to have with my Linksys router was that whenever I played online on the PS3 the computer's internet would cut off for about 5 mins, and vice versa. This has not happened once since I bought the N1 Vision as all the items listed above can connect at once with no problems at all. The router also has some really nice features too, it has guest mode for extra security, several different visual indicators and has great range. Guest Mode: Guest mode basically lets you setup a second network on the same...

Great Wireless Router...Eventually

Advantages: Fast, looks great, cheap
Disadvantages: Not easy to install!

...Having grown bored of using dial up internet I moved on to using an ADSL Modem but still found it aggravating having to plug my Laptop into the ADSL modem so decided to do a bit of research and invested in the Linksys WAG200G Wireless ADSL Modem Route. The Linksys Wireless-G ADSL Home Gateway provides extremely fast connection to the Internet, far faster than a dial-up, and without tying up your phone line. The built-in Wireless-G (802.11g) Access Point allows up to 32 wireless devices to connect to the network at 54Mbps, without having cables all over your house. It's also compatible with Wireless-B (802.11b) devices, at 11Mbps. To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G ADSL Home Gateway features an advanced firewall to keep Internet intruders and attackers out. Wireless transmissions can be protected by powerful WPA...

Linksys Router

Advantages: Can hook up a few computers to it,can have a password
Disadvantages: slow transfer of big files between computers

...The last review was very good but I thought I would give one more about the product itself. After purchasing a laptop it became apparent that I wouldnt want to run a cable from my broadband box to my laptop in order to use the internet especially when this is already plugged into my PC. The next logical step? By a wireless router and i'm assuming that if your are reading this then you will either be in this position or just cant be bothered with having cables all around your house anymore. As the title says this is a Linksys BEFW11S4 Wireless Access Point Router with 4-Port Switch. Fore this router to work you need to make sure that your broadband has an ETHERNET port otherwise you will need to find another router as you plug your broadband into this router via an ethernet cable in order for it to be able to send out the signal...

Crappest wireless router, looks blue for a reason

Advantages: When it works it works
Disadvantages: Unreliable, slow, low range, ugly as a killer whale's backside

...!' And so the rest is history... Well not really. Because I am one of those twats that purchased a Linksys Wireless-G router. When I first got it out of it's shiny new box, I thought, "Yes! The high speed wireless solution shall dawn upon my home and I will become... free!" It was easy to setup, just take it out of the box, out of it's protective cover, plug it into the mains with network cable connecting the broadband modem to it... and presto! Wireless-G router all setup! "It looks ugly, but if it performs well then I shall forgive it for it's short comings", I said to myself. The router itself has 2 attenna coming out it's back with 4 x RJ45 cable netowrk connectors for computers that still use the cable alternative. 1 x RJ45 socket was for the modem to connect to it, very standard setup for a router but it works. It is compatible...

Belting Belkin Router!

Advantages: Fairly easy to set up, easy to use, reliable, looks good.
Disadvantages: Bandwidth Innacurate.

...; from the photos I'd seen of it, I'd always assumed it to be small (I should have really looked and found out the dimensions but I was so desperate to get it ordered as there was only one left in stock that I never bothered) but it's no problem really, just a surprise and I thought I should mention it to you as you may also be considering it and thinking it's a really small router. This router comes in both cable and ADSL versions so anybody on any of the normal ISPs should be fine to use one of them, dependant on what internet they are being provided, ours is a cable one. The router is a wireless N1 which means that the data transfer rate is up to 300mps over the network instead of up to 54mps which is what you get with standard Wireless G technology. It also has a wide coverage area which means that if you want to go and use your laptop...

Linksys Wireless-G - Heh, It's Winking At Me

Advantages: New faster wi-fi standard. Easy to set-up
Disadvantages: None specific to Linksys, but wi-fi HAS to less secure than a wired LAN

...Just when you thought I?d gone soft, writing about interesting things like travel, here?s another one of my computer hardware jobs to bring you back to earth. Unlike ?Two Sheds Jackson?, who was only thinking of getting two sheds, I?ve actually got three PCs, all of which are networked, two by being hard-wired to a broadband router and the third on the far end of a ?wi-fi? link down in the stygian depths of my house, or the dining room as it?s sometimes known. My existing networking kit, also supplied by Linksys took care of all the shared access to the Telewest broadband internet service and any file and printer sharing that I may have set up between my PC, thus the main hub of this kit used to go under the lengthy title of ?combined broadband router/switch/wireless access point?. WHY I UPGRADED ? AS IF I NEEDED A REASON...
