I need urgent help with choosing a router modem from a limited number of candids

[pinktank]

Sorry for the limited list but I'm in istanbul and this is what we can get atm.

usr 9108
philips sna500
D-LINK DSL-G624T
3com officeconnect 11g
Linksys wag354g

We live in a two floor apartment on a 6 floor building. I'd probably place this in my room or around the stairs and it will have 4 users. My father has a laptop that he want's to roam the house with, My cousin is one floor below in an another aparmtent, currently connected to me via cat5(and they split it via a switch so its actually 5 users) but it would be great if he could get coverage too, so I might think of replacing the antenna. And my brother is in the next room. Since 3/4 of us are active users, I think a decent QoS is essential, but I can't choose from the list, any ideas?

I doubt that any of these would be one shot solution (Istanbul? I.e. the houses are probably solid stone?)

In other words you probably would need mot Wireless hardware to cover the Network.

So get what ever Brand is sold in Turkey. I.e. if you can easily get more D-Link hardware get D-Link, if Linksys hardware is more prevalent get Linksys.

Why? Coz with Wireless you would have easer life if the hardware is of the same Brand.

:sun:

well, the ones listed are equally easy to get, usrobotics probably easier since I'm a reseller
houses are usually brick and cement in core. But qos is important because my speedtouch 510 sucks at doing it, when one's downloading, other's game becomes laggy even if we use, and we do use netlimiter on all machines

for gaming and such wireless does suck if you have multiple users. but if it is cement you may have to have more than 1 wireless connected by wires to go thru the floor.

in the end, wireless is kinda just wireless. I prefer linksys to anything but if youre a reseller try out the usr, you can always re-sell it ^^

lol thats shady, hmm
why do you say it sucks btw, its not like I'm having great pings connecting to a us server with a 512kb conn from over here, faster connections are too expensive
