Which Router to choose advice?

fuzzgun19

I need a Wireless Router, and am thinking of one of these.

Which one do you think would be best?

Both say they are compatable with Virgin Cable.

My wireless card in my PC is a belkin one, so would the belkin one be a better choice?

I'd go for the Belkin as you get a lifetime warranty with it.

You can get the Belkin for £42 at Dabs and the Buffalo for £33 at Memory Express. If it were me I'd save 27 quid and go for the Buffalo.

Argos are way overpriced, personally I'd get a Netgear (just to confuse you even more).

There is little or no benefit going for a 125meg router, for most people, a 54G model will do fine.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

Belkin routers are absolute pap. You'll need the lifetime warranty to keep taking it back.

Get yourself a Netgear DG834.

DG834G are for BT lines, OP needs a cable/dsl router, e.g. wgr614

Fair enough, that's your opinion & you're entitled to it, but I've sold/used loads of Belkin routers with no problems.

I've got a Buffalo here and as the signal in my old house is a bit sketchy - I created a wireless bridge between it and another. Works beautifully, and was easy to set up once I stopped putting the wrong settings into it.

I didn't pay that price for it mind you. I think it was £30 from ebuyer.


I've not heard great reviews re: Belkins. They're a bit like D-Links.. cheap, some work, some seem needlessly complicated/picky about whether they're working today or not.
A Netgear would be my second choice.
