redkneck Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 My older linksys seems to barely cover my house anymore, I know they've come a long ways and I'm wondering who can recommend a good one that can cover adequately. Now we have good 4G Lte service here you'll such up some data fast without realizing if your on the wifi or tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Just got a wal mart belkin here and it has worked fine for our needs, but then our dsl is middle of the road speed. Guess this would be one of those kinda questions that boils down to how much you really want to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Well its not about speed, I just want to blanket my little 1800 sq ft single story dwelling with more than one bar lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midwesthunter815 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I would recommend anything that is dual band. It will give a better bandwidth allowing better coverage as well as better coverage when multiple users are connected. You don't have to break the bank on one, but I would say spend a little bit on a trustworthy brand. That Netgear mentioned above is a pretty good price.

Fawn09 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 My mom and dad have a linksys. But I swear sometimes that it's not always working right. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireStation46 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I have D-link. Another brand, I forgot the name, just came out with a router specifically for gamers. Check out Cnet, PC World or even Consumer reports for reviews by the 'experts'. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archerjg Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I have a Cisco Linksys E 1500 and it covers really good no matter where I am in the house. Consistent full bars throughout. Archerjg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Cisco Linksys E4200. It's dual band WiFi and has gigabit ports. Our house is around 1800 and it works well end to end, upstairs to downstairs. Dedicate one band of your wi-fi to your highest bandwith device at the highest frequency (ie. streaming device). 5ghz frequency will have the better range. The other wireless band should be at the lower frequency for lower bandwith items like a printer and guest network. Check out CNET's router reviews. Specs on routers are deceiving. Literally they can have the same "specs" cost $100 different and the $100 more unit is actually worth it. So beware of "deals". CNET's tests will show you a lot more of the real world capabilities a router actually has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
