Re: Which router? Hey all, similar question here....sort of.
My D-Link 615 Wirless N router isn't broke, in fact its been pretty darn reliable at least after the initial setup (most people get into trouble because they don't set these things up properly). No resets WHATSOEVER since purchase 8 months ago. My old D-Link 604 wired router is sitting in a box but that was the most reliable piece of gear i've owned.
Having said that, the wife was complaining about laptop web speed so i check it this morning and was only running at around 1.1 MB (i have a 10 MB service). Is this to be expected with this cheap router? Seems pretty slow to me. Could there be an issue with the laptop wirless N card? I also run two wired computers for gaming, a wii, and will have another desktop hooked upstairs by wireless. Would it be a noticeable upgrade to get a wireless N dual band gigabit router? (example the D-Link 825). Any recommendations on what to do? I feel the 615 may be a bottleneck at the moment. |
