Router help

[JoshJayK 16,648]

Does anybody know a good company for buying routers?

[JoshJayK 16,648]

Actually. . . I found a good one.

Tell me what you think. And give me some of your favorites. Price range around. . . 50-60. 70 if it's an AMAZING router.

 

And I need it to work with Cox High Speed Internet.

I had verizon fios but when we moved we found out that verizon fios isn't in the area.

Linksys has always been #1 no matter what product I have purchased from them. As for that terrible netgear router that lasted for about 3 weeks for me. Best of luck.

 

Edit: Dlink is very good too.

Anything by Cisco or Linksys (which is owned by Cisco) should be fine. Check the reviews on Newegg.

I use a Linksys router. Never gave me any problems, and was easy to forward ports too :D

[JoshJayK 16,648]

What do you think about the link? The reviews were all pretty good, and I like how it looks too.

Personally I say the router in the link is garbage.

[JoshJayK 16,648]

Why? Have you used it? It got fairly good reviews.

[Seventr1x 0]

Yup I had one. I have owned a pretty vast number of routers, 5 or more linksys, 2 netgears, some D-Link, and other off brands. Linksys takes the cake.

My sister had a Netgear router somewhat similar to that (not exact however) and she had an ass of a time with it off and on. She got a different Netgear one, and still does.

 

Linksys are the first to come to mind (obviously) and I think 2Wire are pretty decent as well.

[JoshJayK 16,648]

I got a D-Link one.

We've switched over to the AT&T U-Verse.

Linksys hasn't given many problems, I think i've been using this router for 9 years.

I know its a little late to post this but ill do it for anyone looking for a good router.

Its a really good router as you can see (as of this date) it has won the customer choice award 25 times.

[JoshJayK 16,648]

Hmmmm yeah I was thinking of getting that too but my dad was like 80$ is too expensive.

I've got a Linksys WRT54GL, L means it supports Linux :D. and i loaded it with DD-WRT Awsome Sauce.

[Monki 478]

I have Linksys WRT54G ....no L for me lol

[JoshJayK 16,648]

Okay in a lot of reviews they were talking about (third-party) firmware or something. What's a good firmware?

[Mastric 77]

I myself use DD-WRT, so much better and more stable when what comes on my linksys.

 

See if it supports your router and how easy it would be to implement. http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv3/dd-wrt/hardware.html

[JoshJayK 16,648]

Bleh. Not possible. TT_TT

 

Anything else?

[Mastric 77]

If you can't do it with DD-WRT your gonna needa google your router model and custom firmware and see what pop up
