Should appreciate if anyone has experience from wireless network

such as what router you are using, connectionproblems, "cut offs", range.

Thanks

Andersp: I am using ASUS WL-566gM WiFi Access Point/ Router for my home network (3 computers, 1 wireless printer and 1 PocketPC). No problems so far. The signal is great in all rooms.

Andersp: I have a Linksys Router that works nicely at home. Here at the warehouse I use AT&T provided 2-wire Gateway (DSL router & modem). Never a problem with it, and I get great reception in this 3000 sq ft warehouse/office.

Thanks for your replies :)

Eriisa: Yes ive been looking at Linksys, which model are you using?

Fencer: I've "googled" your router but it seems its not so common here, they dont sell that brand in "my stores" anyway :(

Andersp: LOL, I had to come home to look! Mine is also the Linksys Wireless-G. This is a 4000 sq foot single story home and I get reception through out the house.

I did have a Netgear ummm one of the higher range ones - I , and it worked ok, Its up at my other home in Denison but sometimes the wireless on it just drops for no reason while the ethernet ports are just dandy.
