If you feel that the Linksys is not for you, then there are product from Netgear and D-Link that sem to be pretty stable (again, I only comment on those that I know work from either setting up for friends/family, or discussions with other techies on what kit they use.) HTH It does appear that they have had some quality issues as well, but I know a large number of people (including myself) who use this router, and have had trouble free use since purchase. |
Re: Wireless Router - STB

my disconnects happen with no pattern, some times every 2-3 mins and other times its once in half an hour. I've tried all the frequencies, ive even tried hacked firmwares but nothing seems to resolve it totally ____________ Quote:
Where did you find that? I use XP SP2 btw |

It may have been fixed by SP2 - but I whouldn't think so.. Have you tried using the wireless drivers supplied with the card ? - This report states that it it the MS wireless drivers that display the issue.. Also do you have the SSID hidden, if so try broadcasting it, and see if the problem continues . |

Re: Wireless Router - STB
i have the 54g myself and have never had a prob even when doing a firmware upgrade, its a great piece of kit. Had installed with SP1 and now SP2, no issues and the SSID (XP Pro SP2 laptop connected wirelessly with nothing less than 80% signal) is hidden though to be fair i have never used the XP wireless wizard to set up my network

Re: Wireless Router - STB
Just to confirm SSID Broadcast is set to enable

Also, visit the Windows Update web site, run a "Custom Install" search, and download any updated drivers for your laptop wireless cards. This can make a big difference. |
Re: Wireless Router - STB
Thanks for all the advice, I'm leaning towards the :
Belkin 54g Wireless Cable/DSL Router any feedback regarding this make and model. I've read extremely polarized views. Belkin have high speed 54g model on the market any views on spending the extra cash. Another question, sorry, has any one got any experience of some the 802.11g Wireless USB 2.0 "pen type" adapters or is best to stick to PCI cards. This will be going into a desktop, with usb round the back. Thanks David |

My point is, once it has connected on boot up it shouldnt be losing its connection and having to reconnect at all. |
Re: Wireless Router - STB
PCI cards are better.
