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.

I just received a D-link, I needed a quick hook up, since i just got a laptop using internal wireless, and need to move my desktop too far to run a cable to it,unknown too me the free laptop i was getting(my brother was giving to me because he broke the power button) was coming with a netgear wireless router so now I have too

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.

I have my routers set on mixed mode . However i do prefer the 802.11G.
For security i have MAC filtering set to ¨allow only¨ in combination with
WPA2 -128 bit. This allows me to manually enter the MAC addresses
of the computers that have complete access to my Network.
By the way .... For those of you using WEP security, heres a tip:
Change it please , this is the easiest security method to brake , even thou WPA2 is
also breakable , invaders go through a harsher time trying to bust a WPA2.

Happy with a very stable system
BT VOYAGER2110-D9, password protected at WEP top setting, PCs local 54mbs links to 8mbps ADSL, Dell Wireless 1370 WLAN Mini-PCI Card on Inspiron 1300. Worked straight out of the box, day 1 and hasn't had any problems at all, ever. Needs an occasional reboot when the external carrier service has a mad moment. Router has 4 RJ45 sockets for static devices, and we have never exceeded its capacity, which appears to be about 38 wireless and 4 cable devices. Like the great quote "don't make it complicated if the simple works perfectly" (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_Razor - William of Occam), it does its job 100%.

No it won't. That is complete nonsense. Don't go around parading bad information. I'm a wireless engineer and I've built my career on establishing RF links, 802.11 and otherwise.It's bad enough that most people don't understand wifi to begin with, let alone have someone cloud their mind with outright bogus data.

And if Didou ever gets around to reading this thread again...
I use a custom-built AP based off a Via EPIA board running a proprietary router software suite. I use the Ubiquity XR5 and Ubiquity XR2 for the radios inside the AP. I use WPA2 and MAC filtering for initial authentication, afterwhich an AES-encrypted VPN tunnel is created on my laptops.
The AP itself is capable of sustaining more bandwidth than any off the shelf router, on top of being way more feature-rich. I also have a wireless PTP bridge that uses DFS frequencies outside the normal range of 802.11A equipment. It is a 5.4ghz link that can get an aggregate 150mbps when saturated. And I absolutely do not have to worry about interference from other access points - since absolutely no off the shelf hardware is capable of using these frequencies.
