These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.

Wireless Router Review

 

A few weeks back, at the suggestion of a Best Buy technician, I purchased the Netgear RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router (WNDR3300), a $120 gadget.

It is the worst wireless router you can buy. It's bad because it drops wireless signal more often than Obama changes his positions. Literally every two minutes, it would drop connection. Just pathetic. Many others have had a similar experience.

(I had been using the old wireless router that came with my old Qwest DSL connection, which was super reliable, so I compare it to that.)

So I've refunded the Netgear and have now installed the Linksys Wireless-N Gigabit Router (WRT310N). Hopefully, it's a better experience... I'll let you know.

ETC: I've been on for 30 minutes, and I haven't dropped once.

I'm a Linksys fan.

I've been using a Linksys Wireless G for a few years now and haven't had any problems. My only "wish" would be a little more range so I can sit out in the back yard with my laptop if I feel like it. It looks like the Wireless N has greater range so I might have to check it out.

CNET gives it a very good review, although they do note that it does generate a bit more heat.
