What is the best wireless router for home use?

[lzman]

There are lots of reviews about all kinds of wireless routers. I wonder if anyone has ever compared some wireless routers and has a favorite one. Does any wireless router stand out? How about reliability?
I am checking out SMC, Netgear and Microsoft. I would also appreciate comments about any other routers.
Thanks.

If you have to get Wireless Cable/DSL Router I will go with this: SpeedStream Wireless Router.

The Speedstream 2624 has two advantages.

1. The Antenna is removable.
2. The original Antenna is 5dbi (The regular ?stick? that comes with most Entry Level Wireless hardware is 2.2dbi).

However, the Best Wireless Router is a Wired Router with an Access Point attached to it.

Middle Price Entry level flexible Access Points D-Link 900ap+. Linksys WAP11.

High Price Entry level flexible Access Points the Orinoco Wireless line.

When it comes to Entry Level Wireless, 99% it will work well in the same room. Anything else you do not know until you try!

At the moment it is advisable to wait few weeks and see what comes out in the new draft compliant 802.11g

I have really liked my Dlink 900ap+. Though I will admit I haven't used any others.
