Hi,
Recently I replaced an old Belkin with an Asus RT-N66U. It was a bit
more expensive but I've been happy so far. I had to reboot the old router
almost every time I tried to use the wireless and haven't yet had to reboot
the new one. It reaches from the middle of our rancher to both ends with
good speed. What I really like is that it's designed with slots on the back
so I can mount it to the wall to help with the range.
I am an EE but I didn't use any of what I learned in school to set this
up. Of course I graduated with my BS in '83 so any discussion about a
router in those days would have been in controlling the speed of the
woodworking kind's motor ;-)
NFI, etc.

Subject: [Shop-talk] Routers, again
The computer kind.
OK, when we got DSL some time ago (probably seven or eight years ago) we
got whatever Westell wifi router that Verizon provided with the
service. It still works ok but it's slow and the range is pretty
pathetic. I think it's time for a replacement. If you go to Amazon
or Newegg there are a ton of routers and the reviews are all over the
place.
So would anyone like to suggest a basic modern wifi and hardwired router
with decent range and throughput, and that won't take an EE to set up?
Thanks
