I find discussions on routers to be hilarious btw because they are like antivirus dicussions. In the end they all pretty much do the same thing its just a certain brand name has worked and people feel the need to say "buy this router".

I go with whatever is on sale these days when buying or recommending routers for clients. This year alone I've probably done 20 to 30 wireless installs and I've used Linksys, dlink, netgear, asus, some no name brand I got at walmart one time ($30 bucks and it worked pretty well lulz), firebox's by watchguard, cicso and blah blah blah.

They all do the same shit. The only difference is the software to log in and change the settings. When a router drops all the time its either the router itself is over heating, too many connections or the router is dieing.

Just saying thats probably because the routers were probably on a certain wireless channel which was probably being interferred by things like cordless phones and such. The airport uses a a higher channel from what I noticed.

i did try different channels with the other routers....i was going crazy like twigg for a while but i was posting questions on the linksys forum to diagnose....not vsn.

Well since you want to use your KewPon Id say do what I normally do.

Go here
http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=145&name=Wireless-Routers&Order=REVIEWS

And check which of the best rated ones happen to be sold at BB.com

If you wanna be a super jew you buy it at BB order it for cheaper at newegg when it arrives carry the box over to BB for refund.

I laughed.

Ok, so I tried one last time and changed the setting to the highest "Up to 300mbps" which is the N standard. i did it around 12pm on Monday. I haven't had any drops with my netbook or touchpad and no drops on Live since playing for the past few hours. I haven't tried any actual online game though.

Ok, so I bought a Linksys E2500...

Hook up was a snap. I hooked up the Gears console and recovered my gamertag just to test it before transferring all my files again. I played some Gears 3 Horde with Swarley and everything seemed smooth.

Transferring my content now.

The only thing that was weird about this router was that by default, even when you have security enables, it has this thing called "Guest Access" or something like that. It appears that it leaves an opening for "guests" to log on without the WPA password. I have no idea what the point of it is but I disables that shit.
