I have a Netgear router which is about 7 years old and looking to upgrade.
What wireless router do you use and is it any good?

    A Netgear N900. I like it as it's dual band, reliable and I can plug a usb harddrive in it to share music and movies to my tablet PC.

    Asus N55U Black Diamond, far and away the best router I've used.

    Sorry, can you repeat the question?

    Mine's a shiny black one too. It sometimes has a 3 on it.

    A Netgear N150. Does the business.

    If upgrading the router you may have to upgrade the wifi circuitry in your laptop/desktop as well.

    i.e no use going 802n if your computers can only receive b or g.

    Whichever of the two neighbour's unsecured routers has the strongest signal strength at the time. Unsure of the brands if I'm honest.

    I have a netgear dsomething or other. I have a cupboard full of them going back to the days when AOL was actually AOL. If you rang up and complained they put the problem right and sent you a router as a peace offering.

    western Digital N900, direct connection to Fiber optic. Wireless switched off, no need for it as there are no laptops or tablets in the house.

    Tp-link TL-WR1043ND cable router, but it is not on cable.


    Is it any good? yeah, it works ok, i have had no problems with it and it offers some good features for the price. i am sure there is better, but you will pay more for it.
