Whats a good wireless router to buy
I've got a VMNG300 modem I need a good wired router to use with it cause my Netgear the ports arent quick enough. I need a router with 1gig ports. I don't need wireless cause I use homeplugs and I also got a wireless homeplug.
Damn I messed up the titlw I can can't edit it I meant wired router...

Re: Whats a good wireless router to buy
Can you get wired routers cause when I search I keep getting wireless ones. Wired ones seem difficult to find. I had a linksys wireless router before and that was great.

Re: Whats a good wireless router to buy
You'll probably pay not a lot less for a wired router as opposed to a wireless one.
Remember that with wireless routers you can always disable the wireless option - that way you have it there in case you decide you want it in the future.
As for makes - I'd always choose Linksys over anything else.

Re: Whats a good wireless router to buy
Buffalo or Airport Extreme are two fine performance brands, bearing in mind the difficulty you'll have finding a non-wireless router.

My Belkin PlayMAX performs faultlessly. I've had cheaper Belkins before that didn't though.

Asus RT-N16 is pretty good. Runs DD-WRT or Tomato firmware if you wish, and you can disable the wireless easily.

Re: Whats a good wireless router to buy
Whatever router you get make sure it has gigabit ethernet with a WAN/LAN throughput of 400Mbps+. This will future-proof for 100Mb+ broadband and give you smooth HD running if you want to use a media server around your house.

I agree, 130mbit on wireless with router on ground floor and office in loft conversion.
Great for torrents and also great for internal throughput.

Re: Whats a good wireless router to buy
Another vote for teh WNDR3700. Wouldn't say the wireless range pulled up any trees, in fact it's no better than my poor old DGL4300 (RIP) so I still need a repeater to get to the other side of the house. The wireless and wired throughput is excellent though plus you also have the handy USB sharing facility for hard disks/flash/pen drives etc.
