Best wireless router?

Heartless_King · 27 May 2006 at 15:24

Currently, I have a Linksys BEFSR41 cable router.

Running the house network with no problems over the last few years. Anyways, with a family member thinking about getting a laptop it would mean I may have to upgrade the router.

Therefore, I need a router that will still let me keep runnining 4 wired computers aswell as wireless for laptops. Any extras such as best speed / printer port etc would be a bonus.

Sugguestions?

Thats what I was thinking about I was wondering if someone could tell me difference and maybe experiences using them? Does any of them have usb printer port?

GS has "speedbooster", the GL is a v4 G so you can install all the third party firmware that was floating around.
None of them have any print server function.

Some Draytek Vigor routers do via USB, but not every printer will work.

Ahh ok, well might be easier to use windows xp printer sharing across the network
