Routers - what you got and did it work?

Recommended Posts

I bought a wireless router a few months ago, in order to get both of my laptops online. I also wanted to use this router to get my DS online, and then the Wii.

 

This router has been a godsend. It's the Linksys WRT54G. Sure, sometimes it disconnects, but it's usually pretty stable.

Getting online with the Wii and DS was simple. Just a case of searching for the access point, and that was that. Barely minutes work.

I use the D-Link GT604 (running with australian firmware - DS had wifi probs with the UK ver)

It works great with Wii (altho you have to set the broadcast channel no. to 10 rather than the default 6).

I got a Buffalo WBMR-G54 from Play.Com (Cheapo £50) and it works with everything really easily.

On a lesser note, I use WEP encryption (DS only seems to do WEP) and Mac filtering for security with router... but I guess everyone with a router does the same these days.

Another Linksys WRT54G user here. No trouble setting it up. My Wii is not connected 24/7.

 

We rock the most. :)

 

Yeah, I don't leave mine on all the time, either. I turn the router off whenever I'm going out, or just when I don't want to use the internet.
