Cable Router Survey

[ALBPM]

Ok, I'm finally going to get Cable internet service from Comcast!!!!!!

Scheduled the 19th of this month....YEHAWWWWW!!

What Routers are you guys using and what should I avoid????

I heard good things about the Netgear RO318.

I have also been considering the Netgear RT314 and the RP114.

I need something that will give me easy online gaming access and is easy to use for a networking neophyte...LOL

I've got the Netgear RO318 it's very good. It erm routes and it blocks I'd recommend it.

Hi Paul!

I have the RT311 (same as the 314 but no inbuilt hub). It works great for me - easy to set up and get going. Only one slight problem was that I found that net access was sped up if I set up the PC's DNS servers to be my ISP's instead of the router's.

Be sure to read: http://www.practicallynetworked.com - a ton of greta info on many routers.

I've got a RT314 and it works good for me. I can reccomend it.

Me has a LinkSYS 4 port. It be very kewl. They also have an 8 port version and a wireless/switch version...etc. The new firmware allows it to do just about anything you want it to do. It's very nice and Jammrock likes it.

After installing many .....

Linksys routers, I would highly recommend them. Linksys just released QOS technology but I am unsure of the extra features....the other units my employer had me put in were ADDTRON 4 port units and they sucked HARD. So we finallly stopped installing them.

If I had the cash I'd have bought the NetGear RT314.

As is stands, I'm just running an old P233 w/ Win98se and NAT32 along with BlackIce Defender.

Been working great so far.

D-Link DI-707

I've got the D-Link DI-707 7-port switch

It works perfectly, easy to set up, when I lose power it just starts working again when power returns

I have the cable modem going into the 707, then the 7 ports are set for 7 different rooms, then a 24-port bridge allows me to have multiple points in each room so when I move furniture I just move plug in to the port on the bridge for the needed wall (3 points in each room, prox)

Well, I'm using the Netopia DSL router my ISP gave me. Check www.dslreports.com for more info on routers. Check the forums too.
