Need a new router

rickypatel.89 · 09-06-2009, 21:19

I currently have a Belkin F5D8233UK4 N Wireless Cable Router and just recently purchased a new ps3. At the moment in my home I have two laptops, a desktop pc and the ps3. I think I need to purchase a new router as I don't think the old belkin can handle all systems. Most of the systems are constantly being used at the same time, so I need a reliable and good router. I've been currently looking at D-Link DIR-825 Xtreme N Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Cable Router and the linksys WRT320N or linksys WRT610N. But not sure which one. Any help ?

I forgot to say in my original post that I have a 20mb connection and all my devices currently connect to the router wirelessly.

Any replies?

I would if I was you get one that is 50 meg compatible, as you may in the future want to get it.

rickypatel.89 · 09-06-2009, 22:42

But the question is which one should I get, I want one which is reasonably future proof.

Also I need great coverage so I can use the connection in my garden also.

Linksys often do very good routers, around the Â£50 range.

I have the Linksys WRT54G router, though I'm not sure if you can still buy them. Customisable firmware (DD-WRT or TOMATO). Great router imo.

I think I'm definetly going with a linksys router but unsure which one. The WRT320N or WRT610N ? I'm going to have 2 laptops and desktop and a ps3 connected to it wirelessly at the same time. I do quite a lot of downloading and file transfers. So which is best for my needs. Any help appreciatd. Thanks in advance.
