Wireless Router - STB
First posting from me.
I plan to set-up a wireless network for my sister, could anyone suggest some recommendations for 54G Wireless Routers to be use with a STB. Thanks David |

Belkin, Linksys, Netgear- take your pick, they're all good.

I use a Linksys one (as per my signature).
Very reliable, nice and easy to set up, and the security configuration is a breeze. |

As stated, any of the above manufacturers will be fine.(I use the WRTG54 as well) I would suggest that you clone the MAC address from the existing PC, as the STB requires that you register each MAC address individualy. This is normally pretty simple (note that this will be the MAC of the ethernet port, not the wireless). and involves connecting to the router through a normal ethernet cable, and then clone the MAC onto the router.

Zovat,
Thanks for the info, however I thought once you have registered the MAC address of the WAN port of the router with STB, then there was no need to register any of the pc's on the wireless network? |

Hi David,
Might be worth giving actiontec a look, I use one of their wireless routers and they seem to be reliable. Good luck! Cheers, Chris. :tu: |

Re: Wireless Router - STB
I use the Linksys WRT54GS, its the worst piece of junk i've ever owned. I had 2 PC's connected to it, one was hard wired and the other was wireless. The wireless one was only in the next room but it was persitently diconnecting and reconnecting. The Linksys support is worse than useless, all they get you to do is keep changing frequency until you give up the will to live. The only way i managed to resolve this was to hard wire both PC's which defeats the object of having a wireless router.
My advice would be to avoid Linksys. You dont have to google very much to see that there are many many cases of this same issue. |

Phoned Linksys Support, moved the frequency to the one which was furthest from default, problem solved. Wireless devices will (and have to) accept interference from other wireless devices. Sometime a bit of fiddling is necessary. |
