Wireless Router Recommendation

Lonewolf · 5 Jun 2009 at 00:59

I'm currently using a Netgear DG834 router (wired) and Homeplugs, but my needs have changed.
Having a laptop as my main PC I think a wireless router might be more suitable. I've another laptop and a desktop connected, but they lack wireless and they'll remain connected by the Homeplugs.
My usage is mainly web browsing and some downloading of Torrent files etc. Which ADSL wireless router would best suit my needs?

are you planning to tranfer lots of files over the wireless network?

if not all you need is a basic asdl2 router wwith wireless g networking such as this

If you are planning on transferring large files an all your laptops are wirelss n compatable get a wireless n router

alternativly you could just get a wireless access point and this would save you needing to transfer internet setting over to the new router

Would the 54Mbps be enough for my uses? I figured 108Mbps would be preferred. No, I won't be transferring much over the network.

54Mbps is fine if you ask me, I'm mostly in the same boat as you as far as usage goes and every week or so a trasfer a few GBs to the main pc which I torrented from the laptop (laptop usally gets about 36mbps becasue of the location). Doesn't take long and you don't notice much while is trasferring.
