I am trying to decide on the best router to share
internet between two computers (XP and ME) with
Adelphia cable connection.

I want to make a switch (no pun intended :-) from
Linksys to something else. I have used Linksys BEF SR41
and it is okay but wondering if there is something less
expensive and less trouble.

Thanks!
 
I did some research and found on
http://about.pricegrabber.com/search_attrib.php?page_id=66&masterid=327449
and it seems that the TRENDware DSL/Cable Modem Internet Station with built
in 4-Port Switch
has better reviews. The negative comments on the Linksys have been the same
experiences I have had. I do not find that it continues to work for much
more than
a year or so. I get too many complaints with the Linksys and am looking for
a better
product and of course always a lower price.

I ordered the Trend for total of $30 and will let you know if it works.
 
Which one?? And do you use it with cable?? I just use a smart switch
with dsl and for that I use the D-Link DSS and have had fantastic luck
with it (REALLY cheap too!!!!).
 
I meant to say that since I have had so much luck with D-Link DSS for
dsl, I was very tempted to try the D-Link DI-604 (for $16 from TigerDirect)
but passed on it for the Trend since I could get it from NewEgg who has
always
been very good to me.

I found a Trend router on ebay once for $10.00. I bought it and
hooked up my friends two computers and it's run great ever since. I
was very surprised.

I use D-Link routers. Have had no complaints.

I avoided Linksys because I heard too many people talking about
problems. My other friend bought nothing but Linksys and had been
happy with the products.

Anyway, I hope the Trend works well for you.

been using an older Trendnet router (transparent teal blue) for 4 years with
no problems.

wow, Great Deal! I will have to shop on eBay more. I tend
not to buy my component needs from eBay since there are
already so many variables involved that I certainly don't want
to mix in the previous owner possibility. But way to go!!!

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:

If you have a Fry's near you they sell an Airlink for $9.99. I've used
one for 2 years now without any problems at all.

YEAH! bought one for the bro-in-law...10.00$(when on special sale) and runs
perfect. The web based admin controls are a bit sluggish sometimes..but no
biggie.
