My Netgear WGT624 has been pretty frequently losing its connection for my wife's laptop [thats the only wireless device here at home]. It never drops at the school where she works. So a simple deduction is that her loss of connection is in the router, not the wireless card or anything else in her laptop.
So to get a new one, I wonder if there is a performance rating that says how far it reaches? It's located reasonably in the middle of the house, maybe a little off to one end. Sometimes people who visit and stay in our guest room at the far end say they get low connectivity. It works but not the "Signal Strength Excellent that my wife gets at her desk.
So I thought I would see if there are different "broadcast power" capacities.
Other than that, I would wonder if there is difference in throughput, if that is the term. She talks nowadays about getting netflix online instead of in the mail. Routers differ in how much they can push through? Or would it maybe be limited by the main router in the cellar, that takes the cable feed and goes out to all my home-installed cables?
thx for any guidance
