I need to buy a router

[paulw86]

see topic.
I need it wired. D-Link or Linksys?
Thanks

Either will get the job done, so the cheaper one. Unless you are critcal on certain variables.

 

[paulw86]

is there anything I should look for particularly? Or anything goes?

Is this for a broadband WAN connection or will it be routing LAN traffic?
Even though most models offer 10/100 WAN ports, their pratical throughput may not necessarily be that high due to hardware and/or software design.

Purchased an WRT54GC at Fry's for $20 a few weeks ago. Very good performance in wire mode (easy 42Mbps with one PC).

I've used and have both brands. Prefer the D-link myself.

b- to f are same as 99% of the brand name Routers.

If the OP can find it for a ($5)? Yeah it is a good choice.
