[X4U] Wireless Router Suggestions

[Sylvester Roque]

Hi everyone. New to the list but I've been reading for a while.

You might want to check out one of the Asante routers. I have been 
using one for some time with no problems. I am using one that has a 
print server but several models don't have that function. The setup is 
web-page based so it can be accessed from either a Mac or PC. The other 
nice thing is that the security features can be easily configured to 
only allow access by wireless clients you specify

I have avoided Netgear lately as a royal pain. I had one that would 
periodically "go blind" and not be able to see any pages on the net. 
They replaced it with a second one that within a month had the same 
problem. The entire process took three or four calls to tech support 
each requiring over an hour and a level two technician just for some 
basic troubleshooting.
