Can anybody recommend a wireless n router for a pc & lap

[John McM]

I like the look of the BT home hub but I'm not with BT. Anybody recommend it or any others. Any good network guide sites might help too.

Many thanks

Belkin works fine for me and we have 3 computers in this house, sometimes it gets slow but that's the fault of the ISP, and nothing to do with the router, wireless works well for us.
BTW my ISP is TISCALI.

I have a Netgear wireless router and it works fine with a desktop and 2 laptops.

I've got the aol supplied freebie router, works fine on 1 PC and up to 3 laptops.

I use a Belkin router, piece of cake to set up and very reliable. Probably not the most powerful in the world, but from the conservatory at the back of the house wireless is very usable in every room of our 3 bed semi.

I have a Thomson. No problem whatsoever.

linksys are good...

zyxel are ok...

most are as good as each other and do the job. its the security built in that is where the good and bad differ.

Using Sagem at the moment. Came free with Sky. Trouble free and basic. Previously used Netgear Wireless with two desktops and two laptops. Great performance if a little (for me!) fiddly to set up. I've just setup a home network for my sister using BT Hub. Seems OK but the supplied handset is a bit 'iffy. That could be my sister however, constantly experimenting pushing all the buttons!
Cheers,

NetGear is great kit.

I've had a Belkin and a NetGear - never been able to pick between them, but I'm sure someone has a theory why one is better than the other.

Apparently the BT model has better range? no idea, but it's worth remembering that where you place these things can have a huge impact. To keep mine near the model it sits under the TV next to the DVD, Video, and WII which is fine when I connect in the room, when I move upstairs the connection keeps dropping out until I move the router out onto the floor in front of the TV stand, then I get almost the same quality of connection at the back of the house as I do right next to the router.

I've always had good success with Netgear stuff. It just works. You can get them dirt cheap on eBay.

Thanks everyone I opted for a Belkin bundle in the end, here's hoping it's a good thing
