I still can't get straight what's the difference between an Access Point, and a Wi-fi Router. Is it, one is to enable conection directly to internet, and the other is to provide connection between PCs?
I just bought a notebook that comes with Wi-fi. Now, I want to connect it to my Desktop Computer. My net connection is through a DSL external router, but I wouldn't bother paying a little more for and all-in-one sollution (access point, router and DSL).
Ok, that said, I have the following choices and I want your opinnion on that: (which is best for my case, and why)
Router Belkin F5D92304 Wireless G
Router D-Link DI-634M
I've been through the MIMO Face Off tutorial on Tom Hardware's, so I know those two are kinda close. My choice would probably be Belkin's, for it's design and performance.
Router Linksys WRT54GS
To this one I won't have to wait much longer to buy. First two I won't be able to buy right now... lack of product availability.
Now, I read some of the threads on the Forum stating that Linksys is poor in range. But all I need is some... 30 meters range max. And it'd be nice to replace my DSL router... mine is too damn old.
I also have some other choices on Belkin, D-link, Linksys and Airlink. But since I suck on wireless stuff, couldn't tell the difference between technologies, objectives, characteristics and such.
If there's anyone out there with enough pacience to explain stuff to me, I won't bother reading it.
