Which Router?
 
I gotta order a wireless router for the outlaws this evening. It will be used for a wired connection to the one PC and wireless for ipad, iphone, occasional crackberry (me), and a second PC on the wireless network soon. The house is a fairly long one story and the ipad and second PC will need to access the router on the opposite end of the house, if possible. If not, then I'll get some power-line adapters. Goals are to have very strong wireless signal and as cheap as possible without getting junk. Basically I'd like to stay with netgear, dlink, or linksys unless you know of a kick ass router from another company.

Linksys ftw imo. I've never had a problem. As far as signal strength.....before i locked mine i found out that my neighbors about 150ft up the street were taping me. He casually mentioned that he appreciated that when he comes up from the city he gets free internet access from someon in the neighborhood. And, had a great signal.That was about 3 yars ago when i first got it and didn't know how to secure it. lol pwned.

I tried that initially in this house Chuch and got so frustrated with it going down all the time that I went under the house with lan cable and hardwired everything. Best thing I ever did.

Nips suggestion with a Tomato Firmware would work nicely.

The Linksys should be sufficient enough as I'm sure his in-laws aren't gaming or anything of this nature. LOL
