Best router for use with cable modem (Adelphia - Georgia)

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt (More info?)

I am trying to decide on the best router to share
internet between two computers (XP and ME) with
Adelphia cable connection.

I want to make a switch (no pun intended from
Linksys to something else. I have used Linksys BEF SR41
and it is okay but wondering if there is something less
expensive and less trouble.

Thanks!

Less expensive than Linksys?? What do you expect to pay?

I only need two ports. The Linksys has 4 ports.

I did some research and found on
http://about.pricegrabber.com/search_attrib.php?page_id=66&masterid=327449
and it seems that the TRENDware DSL/Cable Modem Internet Station with built
in 4-Port Switch
has better reviews. The negative comments on the Linksys have been the same
experiences I have had. I do not find that it continues to work for much
more than
a year or so. I get too many complaints with the Linksys and am looking for
a better
product and of course always a lower price.

I ordered the Trend for total of $30 and will let you know if it works.

I found a Trend router on ebay once for $10.00. I bought it and
hooked up my friends two computers and it's run great ever since. I
was very surprised.

I use D-Link routers. Have had no complaints.

I avoided Linksys because I heard too many people talking about
problems. My other friend bought nothing but Linksys and had been
happy with the products.

Anyway, I hope the Trend works well for you.

no problems.

Which one?? And do you use it with cable?? I just use a smart switch
with dsl and for that I use the D-Link DSS and have had fantastic luck
with it (REALLY cheap too!!!!).

I meant to say that since I have had so much luck with D-Link DSS for
dsl, I was very tempted to try the D-Link DI-604 (for $16 from TigerDirect)
but passed on it for the Trend since I could get it from NewEgg who has
always
been very good to me.

wow, Great Deal! I will have to shop on eBay more. I tend
not to buy my component needs from eBay since there are
already so many variables involved that I certainly don't want
to mix in the previous owner possibility. But way to go!!!

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:

If you have a Fry's near you they sell an Airlink for $9.99. I've used
one for 2 years now without any problems at all.

YEAH! bought one for the bro-in-law...10.00$(when on special sale) and runs
perfect. The web based admin controls are a bit sluggish sometimes..but no
biggie.
