Anyone got any recommendations for a wireless router? I have DSL and a new Dell Inspiron 700M.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
All you need to do is hold down the Play and Menu buttons. The other steps are useless.
Including plugging it in? Kewl.

Consuela,
I have Linksys. I generally like it and had it since May. Last week, it has been cutting out here and there, but I think that might be Comcast and not the router.

I've had a series of Linksys routers, and they've all been reliable.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It worked without even the toggling.
Whatever it was doing in the 2 hours frozen really sucked the battery low, though.
Thanks!

Consuela, if you are hooking a Tivo via this means, Linksys is recommended.

I have this Linksys router, and it's been reliable for the past 2+ years. (They've got similar Wireless-G models now that are faster, but I'm too lazy to upgrade.)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I have the same router as Jessica and it's been reliable with my computers and the TiVo. Well, until the big lightning storm a couple of weeks ago when my entire network got fried....
But I bought another of the same router because of it's reliability.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I've had luck with both Linksys and DLink.
