Best N Wireless Router + NTL

HEADRAT · 4 Sep 2007 at 13:04

Hi,

I'm in the market for a N wireless router for use with my 10Mb NTL connection, must be good at torrents for all those Linux distributions

Also it would be nice if it had Gigabit ethernet ports.

Netgear's WNR54T would do what you want, pre-n wireless and also gigabit ports

Easy to set up and it even looks quite nice too.

I have the ADSL version of the router and have been very impressed with it, missing a few of the more advanced features of my previous DrayTek though (QoS/VPN/VLAN etc).

The 11n is also really good, areas of my house that previously got a weak/no signal from the DrayTek now get nearly full from the Netgear - using a MBP and MB on 11n now instead of on b/g as before.

So is this still Pre-N, I thought the N was now a ratified stadard?

Also is it any good with torrents e.g. multiple incoming/outgoing connections.

Cheers

Linksys 350N? Some versions can run the same firmware as the WRT54GLs, though I can't comment on the quality of the hardware...

No.

802.11n has not been ratified yet, although I would expect that most of the devices on the market at the moment will just require a firmware update to the full standard.

Not had any trouble with torrents yet, and my client is set to allow 2500 global connections
