fast71 · 01-09-2004, 08:56 PM

He guys well I just got caught up with the real world and went to cable internet and I love it so far. When the cable guy came out and installed it he told me I need to get a router so I can run my other 2 puters . I want to go wired not wireless .who make the best router and do any of you have one for sale? Thanks for any info.

cableguy0 · 01-09-2004, 09:09 PM

we just got a dlink dl624 we run 6 computers on the network we use both the wireless and wired capabilities of the router for the money its an awesome router and i doubt you would need anything more for home use.http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=6 there is some info on the router itself there.it runs about 100 bucks

fast71 · 01-09-2004, 09:13 PM

I heard to stay away from Dlink . Of coure opinions ar like a$$holes everyone has one and they all stink,lol
So we have dlink anyone else.
I've been hearing alot about linksys.

cableguy0 · 01-09-2004, 09:16 PM

yea we used to tell people to stay away from dlink as well untill our linksys router kept locking up and ruining hours and hours of downloads and such really really annoying we have had this router for about 4 months now and not a problem one. i think dlink had some problems before but they seem to have straightened it out. that linksys router about drove us nuts trying to figure out what the hell was causing the weird problems. finally replaced the router and whatdya know this one dont lock up

Yes I have not had much luck with D-link either, nor have customers or friends. I am partial to Linksys

Pick your self up a Linksys Gateway/4port switch. They are sweet. You can even get it in wireless.

If you do go wireless....get the 802.11 B/G spec router and cards...

I dont know who is providing your internet service, but the RCA cable modem that Comcast gave me has a jack on the back for a network cable to plug into one other computer.
Soooo . . . . .
Look at the back of your modem, maybe you can plug in at least one more computer.

The item you are looking at is the same unit I use. I love it. Last time I looked they were are $50-60 new at office Depot & Circuit City. I think prices may have dropped a little to since then.

fast71 · 01-09-2004, 11:56 PM

I looked today at the shack and they were 60.00

charles oliver · 01-10-2004, 12:29 AM
