What is the best router for wireless networking?

gtballers100: What is the best router for wireless networking?
I want a home network which I want one computer to actually connect to the router and modem, and another computer upstairs to have wireless internet from the router via PCI wireless networking card (with antenna).

I was thinking Linksys WRT54G. Any better ideas? Also, is it worth paying $ 10-20 more for the WRT54GL or the WRT54GS or do these routers perform just as well as the standard 54G.

hi gTbAllerZ…. yaikz, ur name is so hard to pronounce…
anyway, I would like to recommend for you to have the better 108mbps wireless router than the usual 54mbps.
There has been plenty of known vendors (3Com, D-Link, Belkin, Linksys, Netgear, etc.) that uses this 108mbps to enhance the throughoutput of the standard 802.11g wireless type.
But don’t use the 802.11n devices, because just now I heard rumors saying that the 11n Draft 2.0 (the latest standard of 11n) is going to change and thus effects the devices that have been thrown into the market…

I’m not recommending Linksys products to anyone now, because Cisco (it’s parent company) has announced that they’ll be discontinuing Linksys brand up until 4-5 years from now.

If money is not a problem for you, go for 3Com or Belkin. 3Com has been known for it’s stability and performance, it’s the only vendor that doesn’t thrown in 802.11n wireless products until the 11n has been ratified (other vendors have been competing to produce 11n products so far). So it shows that 3Com products are for serious users, who cares more of ratified standards and compability. Plus 3Com offer both standard 11g and improved: 108mbps in their devices.

While Belkin produces good looking and good performance wireless routers too, but the price is only slighty lower than 3Com.

I’ll recommend D-Link if you’re concern for money worth, they have broad range of wireless products for you to choose with considerable price. Their latest devices, the 802.11n wireless devices are showing better and better performance. But since these D-Link’s products are still new, they’ll cost higher than the standard 802.11g devices.

I don’t recommend Netgear and Buffalo, because their performance are vary from products to products.
Good luck, happy shopping & wireless networking!
