Best Wireless Router

The key to selecting the right wireless router is determining your needs. Are you an online gamer or someone who simply needs to access the Internet to do a little research and view your emails.

Heavy Users

The online gamers require speed and reliability. There's nothing more frustrating than getting disconnected in the middle of an intense battle. If you are a heavy bandwidth user I would recommend purchasing a newer Wireless-N router. You must remember that you will need Wireless-N adapters to connect to this router.

I recommend the D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router for online gamers and VoIP users. It is the fastest wireless router available today.

Average Users

The average user needs reliability more than speed. You want your network to be as stable as possible. In my opinion the best wireless router possible for average users is the Linksys WRT54GS. It is reliable and highly compatible with many other network components. It has great range and proven performance. It's low cost compared to other routers is an added bonus. It is easy to setup and secure.

Advanced users will love the fact that it is easily modifiable to add quite a few features. You can find out more by visiting dd-wrt.com.

Beginners

The D-Link Wireless-G Starter Kit (DWL-922C) is perfect for beginners. It comes with a 2.4 Ghz wireless router, an Airplus G wireless USB adapter, and a USB cable so you can position your wireless adapter to pick up the best signal available. This is what I used to started my home networking adventure. It is cheap, easy to setup, and it is the greatest router to start you off.

Hopefully this has helped you find the best wireless router for your networking needs. Please post any questions or comments in the blog.
