Hi what is the best router to buy for me the router will be placed in the back bedroom and the ps3 will be in downstairs in the front room on the opposite side of the house what is everyone else running and have they had any problems with connections etc games thanks neil

 

The best router is a Cisco, but unless you have enough money to run 10 Cosworth's I would always suggest a Linksys.
The reason for this is Linksys uses open firmwear which has the source code available which mean lots of additional features can be made to work on the router if you wish.

 

Who's your internet provider ??

 

My internet provider is aol at mo might be changing if i get better deal ..

 

i have a linksys one atm and its good but i am going to uprate mine in a week or two cos i wanna run more stuff and want the best router money can but lmao

netgear is also good i am selling a router atm but it only for phone line which is shit

 

anything except a netgear or a belkin. I have a netgear and it was a bitch to set up, plus it took about 4 network adapters to find on that would work. A netgear one wouldnt work if you used XP to set it up. So had to use netgears gay software. The only one i have found that works with it is an old 3com one of my dad's PC which I pinched so i could have internet and he couldnt
im on aol too

Linksys is the best option personally. Although apparently orange liveboxes are mint for download speeds through 100% legal (disclaimer lol) torrent sites. Probably cos they werent designed properly and dont have a fully functioning firewall knowing wanadoo/orange

 

Zyxel no doubt

or linksys with linux on it

netgear, well i have one my self, working fine, done that for around 2 years so dont see the issue her, yes it has some faults bot noting major

 

For me netgear all the way. Work in IT, setup about 20 of these, never had an issue. I have noticed the newer ones they have tried to improve the setup with a wizard thing which is actually a pain in the arse and doesn't work (or didn't the one time i tried) so I wonder if this is the problem stephen had. If you connect onto the old fashion way to the IP, then add your connection details and setup security etc its fine.

As for orange live box, don't get me started, biggest piece of crap out there IMO!

 

cheers all thanks

 

Just get the AoHell wireless kit, not the easiest to set up with AoHell believe me, but it will do the job for you.

 

NETGEAR

 

what wireless card does the PS3 have in it?

Does it support Wireless-N ?

If it supports wireless N then go for a Linksys that supports it. The signal strength and speed are much better than Wireless-G

But if PS3 doesnt support it, its pointless so just get a Linksys WAG54G (ADSL) or WRT54G (NTL/Telewest/Virgin) or whatever the current models are

Netgear are dump
