The boys use it for surfing.

For shooters forget it

Had to run a wire up to their room ultimantly

Ya the main reason they want a router is for the ipad. I hate wireless too, but wifi is nice to surf on my crackberry.

Yep mother-in-law is an avid farmviller. Nah they just need internet access. Speed isn't that big of a deal but always nice to buy for future needs.

If your in-laws are anything like mine or my parents or of anybody else of that nature, they won't need wireless N. Wireless G will be just fine. Not to mention Wireless N cost too much and the hardware for it is kinda shatty. One would think after all these years it would be cheaper and better than what it is.

Problem is Joe home owner is happy the stuff just works.

No cry out for this technoligy to get better.... everyon e exspects wireless to suck ....

An those routers are flying of the shelf ... now TV and blue rays come with bundled routers .....

Buy a $ 3500 tv set and get a sweatgear wirless free ................

Ya those gay facebook games are the only bandwidth eaters they use. The rest is just web surfing and online banking. That doesn't matter though since the main PC will be on wired LAN. The biggest thing is being able to pick up a good signal in the other end of the house with the wireless for the ipad. Most of the wifi phone usage will be near the router anyways.

The old Linksys routers were great. The new ones with the internal antenna suck. Try one of the Asus DDWRT capable ones instead.

[ether.real]

Gonna try. It's been a heck of a wild ride this year. So much, that I am out of the loop on hardware, so I will probably lurking around so that I can get caught up again. Maybe I will have to make a thread in the General Section to catch up with y'all.
