    what is the best wireless router out there right now. I like linksys but i have read reviews on their new dual band N router and people complain that they lose connection constantly? Is this true?

    if you were going to buy a new wireless router, which one would you buy?

    thanks

    I'm using a linksys WRT54G and when I need to replace it, I will try for the 3rd item mentioned in the article I linked to above.

    As far as the Linksys N loing connectivity, I think that is true from posts I've read at other forums. Some people returned the router (they were using Linksys routers previously) and switched to a different brand.

    I could not find any articles for ratings beyond June 2008.

    I've been using a Belkin F5D7230-4 for the last few years without any difficulties in my home network. Specifications are 802.11g, 2.4GHz, 54Mbps. It was relatively inexpensive and has been very reliable and easy to configure with both DSL/Cable modems.

    I hope my two cents provides some insight.

    i have a netgear brand router and has worked well so far in my opinion i would get something that has wep security any other type of security will be hard to recover the password in case you lose it
