I know this is going to be by opinion and personal experience, but which
brand of Wireless Router/Switch is the best? Thanks in advance! I am
talking about a price range under $100. Is it worth it to purchase the
Wireless G or is the Wireless B sufficient?
Chuck said:Denny,
This topic is found constantly in alt.internet.wireless and
microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless.
Both brand preference, and wireless mode, are so much a matter of personal
need.
But the discussions in those forums will give you plenty of thought.
Cheers,
Chuck
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.

What are the logging capabilities of Buffalo routers, so you can see
what attacks you're being protected from?
Do Buffalo routers have a real-time log? Are they LinkLogger compatible?
<http://www.linklogger.com/product_info.htm>
Are they IPTables compatible? Do they support SNMPTrap (port 162) or
SysLog (port 514)?
<http://www.sonic.net/wallwatcher/#Routers>
The September 1, 2004 release of WallWatcher will contain support for
the Buffalo WBR-54G. That router uses the SysLog (514) port for
logging. Based on the sample data I've been given, that router reports
blocked traffic and status messages, but does not report normal
Outbound traffic that was allowed to reach the Internet.
Someone is also using a Buffalo Access Point with WallWatcher. The
Access point does not report Traffic at all, just connection status.
If your Buffalo router uses a different logging format than the
WBR-54G, you can download the "Log Capture" tool from
www.wallwatcher.com to collect some samples, then send them to me
(instructions included in the download).
The Buffalo router is still the best performing router I have used. I
always use a third party firewall (Norton Personal Firewall). In your case,
I understand your reservations. But most people are not fixated on that
aspect, and want performance, which is what the Buffalo delivers. There are
no perfect answers out there. While you may prefer a router that will allow
you to monitor every bit of traffic (pun intended), I can assure you that
most would still buy a router that performs well.
