Hi everyone! This is my first post here, so be gentle please.
So I am finally looking forward to completely scrapping my old P3 and getting a new computer this boxing day. I also want to get a wireless router along with it. I don't have much knowledge in this area so I thought, why not consulting the expertise of the online forum?
So here's what I want to know: is there a specific brand or type of wireless router that I would have to use to be compatible with my new system or would any of them that I pick off the shelf do?
All it says on the specifications page is "Wireless LAN 802.11 b/g". And from reading other sites, I found out its supposed to be 54Mbps.
So please help me out by telling me if there's a specific router to use, I want to just get one that works.
Although some people will argue this, for a home setup most brands of wireless routers will do the job. I would suggest going with a Linksys or D-Link or Buffalo, but that's up to you. Apple makes some good products as does Microsoft. Don't be tricked into buying Pre-N or any of the other bs products out there. Just get something that b/g ready.
