D-Link 655.

Honestly, anything but Linksys. Everyone I've known so far who's owned one was never too happy with it.


Asus is a pretty good brand for wireless routers as well.


I personally use the D-Link N-300 as I've had no complaints about it so far with surfing, downloading, and online gaming.

It really depends do you want one for gaming, everyday use or something?

I use a D-link those cheap ones i bought it for $20 from some small computer shop and it works great

Dlink DIR 655

had it since it came out, rock solid, reset it maybe 2-3 times in the years I've had it (atleast 3-4 years i think).

linksys wrt160N
running dd-wrt firmware and works great

!MiKrofT 10-11-2010 10:53 PM

I'm also on a DIR655. Rock solid. Used netgear in the past with good results too.

For a wireless G router, I highly recommend the Linksys WRT54GL (flashed with DD-WRT/Tomato). It's very reliable, and delivers a strong signal. I've owned it for 2 years and I've only reset it 2-3 times, only because my Shaw modem had problems.

I'm running WRT54GL w/Tomato :) Pretty good but I haven't used wireless too much

Just got a DIR 618 last week. I don't think it's out yet in Canada, but it has been excellent so far. The range is quite amazing

Linksys WRT400N

Great68 10-12-2010 06:52 AM

Linksys WRT610N

Simultaneous dual band FTW

Mugen EvOlutioN 10-12-2010 07:18 AM

Good question?

My 610N has been rock solid since I bought it. I haven't had to power cycle it once.

hotjoint 10-12-2010 08:18 AM

I love my d link

muteki 10-12-2010 08:20 AM

Huh?

If you are using the WPA (or WPA2) security protocol, the level of security is the same across any router.

beatdownvictim 10-12-2010 10:21 AM

had a dir655 for a year..shat out on me kept on dropping connection

now on a netgear forgot what model some dual band one, been great and better range then the dir655!

!MiKrofT 10-12-2010 11:41 AM

I have always hated Linksys.. Had way too many problems with them in the past.. But with DD-WRT or Tomato I'm sure it's better.

I swapped out after 3/4 lousy linksys years ago. I heard it from some other people. So I'm not sure, but I see unstable linksys connections that I could connect to on and off in my area, so I'm not sure what's happening with that.

Haven't had any experience with N-routers.
I have 3 Linsys WRT54GL's with DD-WRT and they are rock solid.

Never been a fan of Netgear nor D-Link.

I think my next N-router will be either Asus, Buffalo or a Linksys.
The on criteria I have for routers is that it has to run DD-WRT. This way the router will always have some sort of 3rd party firmware support, if there are issues.

Cman333 10-12-2010 05:26 PM

I asked a similar quesiton also on RS like 1-2 years ago.

I had a Linksys WRT54G originally, then got the newer version thinking it would be better and it sucked.

Everyone on RS recommended the D-Link DIR655. It's been rock solid, no connection drops, range is decent too.
