here's are some of my choices in my mind now

D-Link DI-713P Wireless Broadband Router and Access Point with 3-Port Switch

amazon price 155

SMC Networks SMC7004AWBR Wireless 4-Port Broadband Router with Print Server

price 199 at amazon, jandr.com has it for 179 + 20 rebate i believe?

i heard smc was good but there's all these models and with different prices too :( so confusing... any help would be appreciated. i'd liek to get a router that works good and without problems and a good signal for wireless. i'd also like a low price (who wouldnt? :) but if its a sarcifice for quality then i rather have the better product) any help or comments and/or stories would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

i bought the SMC barricade and have been using it for 2 weeks now. it's fabulous...works great

smc + an orinoco gold is basically the best consumer level wireless network choice...you can't go wrong

<< can you recommend a place with a good price? >>



i paid 200 bucks @ compusa....wanted that instant gratification thing.

if you go to pricewatch and put the model # in, you can find some cheaper prices
