*rensom, sorry to hear about your Buffalo router. Baka tyempo lang naman, pinalitan naman eh. Ako kasi very satisfied ako sa Buffalo kasi mura (P1500 lang ang wifi-G sa Octagon), tapos it supports DD-WRT. So I have 2 Buffalos, both with DD-WRT. I use one as an access point, and one as a wireless client bridge. My main router is an ASUS.

I heard good things about Edimax rin. Cheap and reliable daw.

OO nga eh...buti umabot pa. Dito pa nga ako humingi ng tulong sa configuration...papaano ba naman ang ginamit ko eh yung 1 meter standard ethernet cable at di yung manipis na 1 foot na kasama sa package kya walang response pag nilagay mo yung IP address sa browser. Sa una ok yun mabilis nga at satisfy na ako kya nga ng binalik ko balak ko kunin same model pero nabulungan ako ng salesman na 2 na raw ako na nag return at same problem... naka-connect pero walang data na pumapasok need pa i-reset...baka daw sa batch.. as i remember manufactured date nya sa sticker sa back panel is may 09.

Yeah, they have a wifi-N router. I'm using 5 of them right now for my homes. Go for the the model EHNWI-N with the 3 antennas. May YM tech support pa sila at phone support.

Mga Bossing, thanks for all your inputs. Just bought an Asus EZ Wireless N Router RT-N11. I practically just plugged the devise and viola, connected na ang desktop PC ko and my laptop. Kahit inside ako sa room ko with my laptop closed ang door, ang signal is outstanding...I think I would recommend this to all newbie to wifi routers...Its a wifi "n" so ang lakas ng signal. I do believe I will have to configure later para sa password...so thanks guys....BTW, it only costs three thousand two hundred pesos so, not bad for a wifi n...linksys costs 4.6k for a wifi n; a d link costs 3.5k...

Encore has the the 802.11N protocol, twice the price of their G.

Napagusapan na yan. See link above.

No, speed din. N can go up to 300+mbps (tested with Dell xps m1530, Mac Pro, macbook pro and iMac).

Personally, I use Edimax (because of the 2-year warranty). I usually don't buy unknown brands because usually, you get what you pay for.

I'll be upgrading my router soon (routine upgrade) so I'm looking at Belkin N+ (lifetime warranty). I bought two for the client's offices for only 8k each. Flawless.

Galactus, turn on QOS, where you can either:

1.) Set a reserve bandwidth for your computer and let the router auto-balance the remaining for others.

2.) Set the router to auto-balance everything for everyone.
