Re: Are there any HIGHLY rated wireless N routers for under $50? said by tipstir:Modem is the key to your speed a slow modem a slow connection. I know for a fact it's my router that's slowing me down because when I hook a computer DIRECTLY up to my cable modem, I get BETTER speeds. If a router doesn't slow me down, shouldn't I get the SAME speeds when using it?

If a router doesn't slow me down, shouldn't I get the SAME speeds when using it? If the modem connection to the PC is fine that great as it should be.. Router could slow down your connection too. The cheap routers like $24 bucks which I did buy TEW-652BRP from Trendnet is the same as Dlink DIR-615 C1/C2 hardware. Those use Atheros 9100 series chips for PU/WPU. Fast at first then when it starts to heat up badly because these cheap N routers don't have heatsinks and thus without one the darn this gets so hot it can really mess up performance and shorten the life of the router.
Just plain issues daily. I fix that problem by making my own heatsinks and placing them on the PU, WPU and switch chipset. Heat drop down and router was working but not where it would be if you spend the money on Gig Wireless N router.
Everyone here going to say Linksys, Zyxel, Dlink and I for Belkin N+.. I just know Belkin N+ works without updating the firmware as the firmware they have not is just for additional support for USB HDDs. |
