Hi all,
Sorry if I am asking the question that 30% of this board also asks. However I spent quite sometime reading the posts, going to linksys / netgear websites and still don't quite found my answer yet.
Basically, I currently have Netgear WGT624 and it is dropping packets like nuts now eversince the big power outage here in the northwest. I am shopping for another wi-fi router but have not been in the wifi router market for 2 years now and (ahem) a little outdated.
Based from the chatter from various posts, I've read that the new wi-fi routers have new capabilities now. I am looking for one that will do:
1. 802.11g with very good coverage for 3500 sq feet home.
2. Can do multiple Vlans on the ports (if available)
3. Broadcast multiple SSID with different encryption (WEP & WPA). I still have a stupid tivo that will only do WEP
4. Better firewall port filtering with ip access list (if available)
5. Of course other basic functionality such as VPN LLTP, PPTP & IPsec, mac filtering etc.
Right now the closest one I've seen is Linksys WRV200. Is this any good?
Thanks !
