I’m looking for a new modem/router and rather than ask on twitter…
Current: Netgear DG834PN
Problem: If the PS3 is on the wireless network practically dies. I can sit with the laptop and router within a couple of feet and I get dialup speed. It’s a known issue with this model.
Desired: I really don’t want to get into setting WPA/WPA2 passwords. Too many machines and I’m too lazy. So restricting access by mac addressing is the way to go. Wifi table should hold around 20 devices. I know mac addresses can be spoofed but given where I live I’ll take the chance.
Cost: not hugely bothered.
I know the Airport base station exists but otherwise it depends which forum you ask, which website etc. I’m going to hunt around but do you have one that you think would definitely the better buy?
I’m pretty clueless really, but I did pick up an Airport Express last week. It’s wonderfully simple and so small too.
Then again, that’s probably me buying the hype again…
I’ve been using the Linksys WRT54GL and DD-WRT for three years. Still going strong.
