Routers

What N routers (or others) would be a very good choice? I have a Belkin N router with ATT HSIPRO DSL. I am thinking of trying a different router before switching services. I am having increasing difficulties getting logged in fully to the wonderful Remula one server. I know the problem is with my equipment and or service as I can connect all the time at work and at home if I use my Blackberry as a modem.

With some experience in these matters I'd say you definately have a bad router !

Have you had your ISP check your line for quality and signal strength? Sometimes a low quality line can cause performance and connection problems.

Yes ATT and I spent a couple of hours last night with him in control of my machine checking things out to no avail. His suggestion was to uninstall the game and reisntall it:D. I do have an old router at home I plan on hooking up tonight as a trial. I think I went with the Belkin N router to see it it was better and it works fine for all other uses.

Cisco Linksys. N2000 that is what I bought to upgrade my router and it seems to work better...good signal strength through out the house....

I tried many a netgear before and always had problems with their signal strength so I switched to Linksys which always have given me better signal strength.....netgear is ussualy cheaper thou.....

Using Netgear now due to the fact you can set the frequency up a bit ... every time the wireless phone rang, it would cause the router to ... whatever the equivalent is to a brain fart.

I am using Linksys and it seems to be holding up very well.

Have you tried a updating or changing the firmware? Might not help as it's probably some sort of hardware failure but worth a try before you replace it completely.

I did that tonight from a 2007 ver to the latest 2008 for my model. I still have problems.

Thanks MM, I used to have a linksys but had to replace it when I got a faster DSL. I will look into them and the others mentioned.

Well, my Linksys seems fast enough for the server!

What I meant is my old Linksys did not support my higher speed so had to upgrade and someone said try Belkin N. Will look into Linksys again. Thanks E, I will read reviews on the diffrent routers.

FWIW

I've had excellent reliability and performance with LinkSys devices.

I found out tonight that my router has a firewall on so I turned it off and will test connect-ability tomorrow again as tonight worked first try.

Yes, Yes, Yes it was the Routers firewall that was the problem. I have been able to connect to the server first try (so far;)) every time since I disabled the router firewall.

Thanks for all your input as I still have to replace my security systems router as it died when I was messing with it:(:D!
