- Can someone recommend a Router?
- Posted by TiTaN on October 18th, 2003
I currently own an ACCTON AC-IG1004 and it is very user unfriendly, easy to
get running but extremely difficult to configure because of poor
documentation and very poor online help and very very poor phone support.
I'm not very good with anything to do with computers and was wundering
weather someone could recommend a unit that is easy to configure.....ie to
use with games, icq and msn!

use.

What makes you think Linksys is any better than, e.g., Netgear (which,
if nothing else, seems sturdier) ?

I know people with netgears and they say they suck. I know people
with this Linksys and they all love it. It works right for everyone I
know.

gone with Linksys.....seems to be very popular, just hope its easy to work
out the ports to be opened otherwise i'll be a regular here

in the setup of the router, there's a section called FORWADING, that's
where you put all the ports.
Very simple.

I have Linksys and have been fairly happy with it. Biggest issue is limited
range. Had to work hard at changes to get it to connect to my daughter's
laptop in an upstairs bedroom.
It appears to me that D-Link is a bit ahead of the game with 22 MBps 802.11b
as well as other things like having a wireless repeater.

sturdier? that's a new one? how did you come to that conclusion?
just to let you know i purchased the BFSR41 when they were pre-ordering the
device. i had it replaced only once, and that was because the tech person
was feeling lazy about helping me.
it's run constantly... never had an issue. hell i've even had water fall
into it and it STILL worked!

Obviously YMMV.
