Sorry for bringing up this slightly older thread but I've been reading through posts trying to find a router thats best recommended. SnoopZ, Gareth and others seem to recommend the Linksys WRT54G range so I decided to buy the
WRT54GL model. It was a bit cheaper and as most computers will be connected using ethernet, I wasn't too bothered about the Speedbooster technology.
But I am curious about Afterburner. To make use of this does each computer on the network still need to be using a Speedbooster adaptor? Or what if 2 computers were connected via ethernet and only the laptop through a Speedbooster adaptor? Thanks again for everyones help, I'm not exactly a pro when it comes to networking
