My Buffalo router has been dropping wireless signal on and off for a couple weeks. Comcast did have a problem in the area, but when I connect directly to the modem via a hard-wire pc, the signal doesn't drop. I want to head things off before it gets worse. I can't live without a wireless network, so I need a new router.
I work from home to a remote server, but I never access my network remotely. I have as many as three or four notebook pc's connected at one time, but that's rare. Usually there are two at peak operating times with one or two hard-wired pcs as well. There are some other wireless items attached, too, such as a wii.
We do stream media and use VOIP. A print server would be fantastic, but I am considering getting an all-in-once wireless, too.
What would you recommend? It has to be something reliable. I had an SMC Barricade prior to the Buffalo and loved it. I just found it one of those items that was hard to find in my area and decided to give Buffalo a shot. This one hasn't lasted very long, so I'm disappointed.
Thanks in advance for the suggestions.
Edited to add: I do want the ability for MAC filtering.
