Re: OT: Wireless internet?
FYI: My personal experiance has been good with D-Link wireless routers and Linksys (I prefer the D-Links myself), but I'll echo Fyron: Stay away from most others. We had a Belkin. 2 weeks later I tossed it and got a D-Link. No problems since.

Re: OT: Wireless internet?
D-Link is only marginally above the likes of Belkin and Airnet. Maybe they have improved their technology in recent years, but I'll never trust them again.
Narf, here is some terminology:
switch
router
modem |

Re: OT: Wireless internet?
@Fyron: Why don't you trust D-Link?
Also, I have a wireless network now.

Re: OT: Wireless internet?
Shoddy hardware and firmware that have caused nothing but trouble in the past for myself and everyone I've known that used D-link?

Re: OT: Wireless internet?
Donīt buy D-Link if you live in a tropical climate... nearly all itīs products freeze with heat (ironic huh?)... i had a D-Link router at work and another at home and both froze without any reason... then we noticed that the problems happened more often in hot days... we changed both router to linksys ones and never had problems anymore...
I read somewhere in the internet that D-Link chips were (are they sill?) too sensitive to heat...

Re: OT: Wireless internet?
Never had that problem that I can remember - But I live in a temperate coastal zone.
