Stupid Westell 327W internet gateway with 64bit wep. This stupid thing came with a password on it so I cant change it to 128bit. I wanted a regular DSL modem so I could plug it into my Belkin router. Stupid westell thing won't let me share my printer on the network. Ironically, I'm on my DS online a lot, it doesn't support WPA, which is what I had before. (All my technology is spiteful.)

Does it have a reset button hidden somewhere - once you know your settings this should set the password back to default. Password might be admin or Admin, perhaps?

Googled it. Turns out the default password was "password" :P. Changed it to 128-bit, now I am content.
[Of course I changed the password so I could remember it. I taped it to the bottom of my other router.]

Crappy old Linksys wireless router. Possibly the oldest G-standard router in existence. Runs hot, and keeps dropping the internet connection. Yay! It came without a power cable, so i had to buy a new one. My rabbit ate through that power cable and I had to shell out for a new cable again. Yay!

Well, right now I'm using my neighbors connection, connecting via wireless, since it's working pretty reliably and I'm getting good bandwidth (5Mbps) over Time Warner Roadrunner.
I've got a WRT54G Series wireless router and was using that. I had it setup for Wireless-G using WPA2, but I didn't connected via wireless, because I don't see the point if the router is right there in front of me. Though my roommate used it on occasion with his laptop and another person used it with his iPod to browse the net and watch YouTube videos. I may get cable again sometime. Right now, I'm getting laid off in a few weeks and as long as this is working perfectly fine I don't see the point in spending $46.95/month for it when my uncle is letting me use his free (he lives in the house next to us). I've thought about getting a Wireless-N router, but haven't yet. The next time I need a router that is what I will buy. I may even go with something that either has QoS features or can be modded to add Quality of Service. |

Well the threads based on stuff like what ROuter you use and what kind of security you use (WPA, WEP, etc.)

Those of you using either G or N which router?
Even though I am using G mode on N router until it gets standardize for N. I was curious to see how many of you has put down cash money on Dlink DIR-615 (10/100), DIR-625 (10/100), DIR-655 (10/100/1000), DGL-4500 (10/100/1000 dual wireless) just to have a faster router or one with Gig ports? Or just state your router brand name and model.

Linksys
I have 2 seperate networks at home, 1 is a G based nrtwork and the other is N. I have a netgear wgt624, meh oh terrible reception. And for my N side, I have a Linksys wmp160n, im not sure about the wmp part, but its the new 1's that look like UFO's. the N seems to do speed wise slightly faster, but mos of my computers are 100mbit, wired anyhow. I would stick with NOT draft, its still kind of a beta thing....

We just got a laptop so we bought a nice wireless router along with it.
Linksys WRT160N Wireless N Router WPA/WPA2 Enabled Mac Filtering Enabled High Security Enabled I can't believe how simple setting up this router, just insert the disk, follow instructions like passwords and security and you got your router for basic internet sharing. Now i need to know how to enable Fire Sharing and how to make it work... |

The network I am running is an 802.11 A/B/G Mix. The hardware vendor is Netgear. I have had bothe the Netgear WGT311v3 router but since the i have got a Linksys WRTP54G. The security is WEP, sadly. I know that I could go with WPA, but I havent gotten to reconfiguring all 9 of these computers of mine wo WPA yet.
