Title: Choosing the best Internet Router/Modem
Post by: Famardy on March 27, 2011, 12:21:54 AM
I'm looking for a good internet router or modem that supports both Wi-Fi and Ethernet connection. The router that I'm using right now is a 2wire gateway 2701hg-b is starting to become less reliable and I'm just sick of my DSL connection getting dropped or being slow.
So is there a good router that's you guys would recommend me?

What about these two, do you know if by any chance are they any good at all?
Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band Router WNDR3400 (http://"http://www.amazon.com/Netgear-N600-Wireless-Router-WNDR3400/dp/B0041LYY6K/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I39V96CQKRRDEV&colid=3BCQXAL9C7IVW")

Yeah- Linksys is my preferred, but Netgear is definitely up there.. I've run both and, though with Netgear I did have a few little problems, Linksys usually ran pretty flawlessly... Netgear problems are really easy to fix though, and theres a lot of online help and tech support

Yesterday I've finally decided to go and buy my new router so I went to Staples. Over there, I've asked one of the sales associates which is the best DSL modems they have on sale. He then suggested that that I should get the Motorola Netopia 2247-N8 and said that it's pretty realible. So I've boughted it for $100. Once I've installed it at my house, I've tried it out. Turns out, it he was right! :D
