    TP-Link. Choose the "N" band routers especially if you are planning to setup a whole new wifi-network. If you are familiar in configuring routers, you shouldn't have much trouble with it. There is also a quick setup option within the router so if you already have the usual information with you, it would guide you through the process.

    few months back, i chose D-Link DIR-615 wireless N. ito highly recommended nung supplier namin dito sa office, sa kanila ko na rin kinuha, unlimited warranty. wala pa naman problema at kahit ilang concrete walls lusot pa rin.

    Either TP-Link and D-Link DIR-615 are okay. My Linksys WRT300N hasn't given me any problems except 1 or 2 times that it wasn't giving me internet access.

    If you can afford it, connect your routers to good UPS'es or at least surge protectors. Nasira kasi agad iyung isang DIR-615 namin. Pero yung kasabay niyang 3 units, oks pa naman.

    HTH.

    The cannot find page was resolved in mine by changing ISP that requires the DHCP Server of the router to be disabled - works like a charm. Kahit one week naka-on di na natatameme yung router sa pag-renew.

    i've been using a linksys wrt54gs router for more than 2 years now, that's 24/7, off only during power interruptions. no problems except for the occasional reboot.

    on the other hand, my first linksys, wrt54g, had frequent disconnections.

    Also had tons of problems with Linksys routers overheating and eventually having disconnection issues.

    Get the Edimax nMax Draft 2.0, it's only about 2,500+

    WiFi-N 300Mbps (i have tested this both with Macbook Pro and a pc with WiFi-N device).

    If you can, get the 6574n because of its Gigabit Ethernet which is useful if you've got gigabit network storage devices. However, all 802.11n models are fine (three antenna models).

    Never had any problem with Edimax routers for several years (i think five).

    Hi, HP! i went to digital hub but they don't sell Edimax...i bought an AirPort Express 820.11n wifi instead...haven't tried it yet, globe hasn't completed it's installation yet...i should have bought a TP-Link, but then the sight of cdrking's long queue made me sick...

    TP-Link products aren't sold by CDRKing. TP-Link devices are available from regular computer shops.

    Good choice. :D

    As for the Edimax, sana pala ibinili na lang kita dito then courier but then I thought you really really need it.

    Medyo matagal talaga installation ng Globe. Konti pa lang kasi infra nila e.

    If, I'm not mistaken, may USB port yan where you can attach your printer. Para wireless printing na rin. :D

    I guess changing the name and password is already high tech for you. Have you also tried doing the WPA/WAP/etc along with setting the mach-number to define who can and cannot connect with your router as well?
