The Apple Airport Extreme is the best wireless router out there - bar none. I went through horrible connection problems with various Netgears and Ciscos where I would be sitting, just surfing the web and I could watch the signal slowly degrade to nothing before cutting me off completely.
The Airport Extreme is a snap to set up and the dual band support rocks. There's also a USB port on it so you can share a printer between all your PCs.
I use a Motorola SBG9000 (it's a cable gateway) that I have had no issues with. I can usually run the PS3, wife's laptop, neighbors computer (he's a friend) and my computer all with no problems. I'm pretty sure they have a ethernet version. And it may not be the SBG9000 anymore. I bought this one a couple of years ago.
I am here to ask you, my fellow heroes and villains to help me to help my mom to find a new simple and useful Router.
Not to long ago, the Wireless Router my mom have been using stopped working. She has asked me for some help but i know nothing about Routers.
About a week or so ago we had a few(4 or 5) power surges(no big deal since the next few months may be full of them, Hurricane weather) and i believe the Power surges killed it.
The router is a WRT300N Wireless-N(A old model i think). The Router was hooked to my PC while mom used her wireless Laptop while i had used the wireless for my PS3.
So what is a Good/Best Router that is simple to setup for a few things, Moms Laptop(and a Desktop rarely), My PS3 and my PC.
If your wondering whats wrong with the router. the 4 'yellow' ports are odd, one will give my PS3 online but not my PC or moms laptop, we tried all 4 Ports they ether gave only one of the 3 Internet or none.
Going to miss the fun and nice people here at CoH. Feel free to add me on PS3/XBox360
