Hello folks I will soon be moving into a new apartment and will be needing a wireless connection to the landlord's comp who lives on the main floor of the house. I will be purchasing a new system also soon(most likely an Imac). Anyway, i know virtually nothing about routers(never used one). I have done some research on it but it is dizzying how much info is out there on this subject. I just want something very reliable, long range and price is not a factor. Keep in mind if you's get too technical you'll lose me but go ahead for the benefits of others interested too. snowbound
Heya This is what I use at home and with my clients. http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=530 Its a GREAT router when considering price, features, easyness and effectiveness

Thanks much for the links. I'll check them out. As i'm not knowledgeable on the subject of routers could someone explain in layman’s terms the "draft compliancy" issue with the N routers please? snowbound
Draft N was experimental Standard N is more the norm now.. Well it's becoming so. I would recommend you keep away from Draft N Wireless Routers. The one everyone is so crazy about has last reported overheating issues if use extreme. But beside that I am not a fan of Netgear. Use Dlink but now Belkin N+.
Wifi N specifications became final this September. So I don't think there are many choices for full N devices yet. I also believe that for many of the latest draft n models there will be a firmware upgrade that will make them full n devices although not certified. Future versions of the same devices will be full n and certified.
Please check this press release from the wifi alliance. I'd like to note the date: AUSTIN, TEXAS - September 30, 2009 http://www.wi-fi.org/news_articles.php?f=media_news&news_id=892
Belkin N+ V3 Standard WNDR3700 Standard Everyone who has purchased Draft N going to be stuck with it and will have to purchased Standard N to replace it. If you look at membership clubs selling Draft N wireless router dirt cheap, online sites are doing it as well. Make sure you see if reads Draft N.
