Cisco products are good, linksys is their commercial arm.

Netgear arn't bad... asus make some ok products too. I'd stik with linksys if you can...

AVOID ANY D-LINK PRODUCTS LIKE THE FREAKING PLAGUE.

Billion would be one of the best/ most popular. All comes down to what you need: ADSL2+, 3G, VOIP, VPN?

Couple of sites to read:

i use a cheap nasty d-link one (i think it was about $80 a couple of years ago) to route my dial-up internet from the desktop XP machine to my Macbook (no dial-up ability with the Macbook unless you buy the $100 modem).

Apart from be a recipe for slow it goes well. Dunno how the cheapies hold up to faster, more frequent use but i can't complain about the product. Easy to set up as well, even with the windows to mac setup. File share easy too.

Now, have a quiet chuckle about my ancient connection (tvr - shut up).

dont buy anything thats under 120$ 120-250 is the way to go the cheaper ones seem to drop out every now and then need resetting which isnt hard but can be annoying.

I've used Netgear 3 times in 3 different houses and havent had a problem yet

**jujibelly** · 06-10-2009, 05:24 PM

Billion is the way too go. I've tried most of the mainstream ones and nothing comes close to billion.

**-scyth-** · 07-10-2009, 06:28 AM

Seems like a majority vote for both netgear & billion.

What models should i look at buying in terms of netgear & billion?

Ive still got xp on this pc (desktop) but the laptop has windows vista.

Thanks in advance
