Buy Apple's Airport Extreme if you don't want to spend a lot of time setting up and/or supporting a device. You won't regret it. If you don't mind fiddling, any dual-band N router that's capable of running the open-source DD-WRT firmware can be great fun and quite capable once you've configured it to your liking. ---- Jack Kramer Computer Systems Specialist University Relations, Michigan State University 517-884-1231 ________________________________ From: Tom Rockwell <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: Tom Rockwell <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2009 21:23:48 -0400 To: <[log in to unmask]> Subject: [MSUNAG] mindless home wireless question Hi All, Don't ya love a good flame-fest? About 4pm today I made some popcorn, sat back and enjoyed the action! I realize this is a bit off-topic, but does anybody have a recommendation for a wireless router with "N" protocol support for home use? Anyone experienced with them (bought more than one)? Clients are mainly Apple laptops, if that matters. There will be some non-N clients. Reliability, ease of setup and range are more important that absolute bandwidth. Thanks, Tom Rockwell
