Antenna-less is garbage as well. WiFi needs all the help it can get to reach out and touch the device it is talking back and forth.

I like something that I can put some power behind and has some nice features, vpn, qos, vlan, multi-ssid, etc, built-in or either some 3rd party firmware.

A few I've been looking at:
»routerboard.com/RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN
»www.asus.com/Networks/Wireless_R···/RTN66U/ (I have the RT-N16 right now and love it, OpenVPN, QOS, 3 VLANs, Ad/Malware site blocking at the router, FTP, 3 SSID's. )

Well I personally use the ASUS RT-N66U, and really like this router. I mean you have the choice of running different firmwares like Tomato, if you don't like Asus firmware. A guy named RMerlin takes the Asus firmware builds, and tweaks it a bit making it better. I can say I am happy with the money I spent on the N66U.

bchandler02 posted : I do agree that LInksys went to complete crap over the last few years. Used to be a netgear fan as well but do not like their offerings, most being antenna-less.

Out of all the consumer grade routers, I've always had good luck with Dlink. I have a DIR-655 that has been going strong for 3+ years now with a fairly heavy load on it. Out of all the consumer products, I'd recommend that.

digiblur posted : Linksys is utter garbage. You'll never see me buying another run of the mill linksys, netgear, etc throw away wireless router.

You can try throwing a different firmware on there, like DDWRT or Tomato.

anon posted : I haved narrowed down the problem. It was my router that was the culprit this time. I'm upset that I paid 50 dollars for a reliable router 3 years ago, but my new $130 one is crapping out on me. Old one: WRT54G2

New one: E4200. Its giving me all kinds of problems after 6 months of use. My old one is still going strong.

betterdan posted : I was having problems with really slow speeds at peak times also. Lived with it for over a year and Cox couldn't fix it. Finally updated my old SB5120 modem to a 6121 and the problems have vanished. I suggest you at least try a new modem (you can pick up the 6121 from Wal Mart) and if it doesn't help just return it.

Yep. It gets really bad for me past 2pm. 5am-1:59pm are flawless and I get my appropriate speeds. And sometimes I don't get an upload measurement at all. It will simply say Connecting indefinitely

Right now: »www.speedtest.net/result/2219303320.png

This is with a SB5101+BEFW11S4.

I also get really high jitter readings during this period (hitting 600ms jitter yesterday).

Not as bad as yesterday but: »www.pingtest.net/result/70258712.png

wow!! A BEFW11S4??? Very cool that it's still chugging along. That router is like 10 years old or more. Time to get a new one if you want some decent speeds.

I would definitely update the SB5101 too and get a D3 capable modem so you can bond upload and download channels.

anon posted : I could have been my Cisco E4200 giving me problems. I switched back to my older WTR54G2, and its back to normal. Every time I try a new and fancier router, I'm not satisfied, and go back to the basics.
