Hey guys,
I feel it's time to upgrade my router, my current one is falling apart
It's a D-link DI-624+ and it's about 5 years + old
The antenna is loose and when I pull out the power cable it requires 99999 tries to get it powered again.
But the main reason is that I notice a lot of speed loss when using wireless vs cable (14 mbps vs 30 mbps)
So that's what I'm here for:
Can you guys recommend me any brand that stands out?
Any type that delivers excellent quality, speed, range, tunability for a good price?
On some forum they also told me I really had to change the DI-624+ because it just wasn't capable to deliver a good bandwith/speed nowadays (only max 54 mbps or something)
So I'm eager to get a new up-to-date router to fully use my internet speed wireless.
This are some requirements:
- Also needs to have like 3-4 ports for cables (switch is the name I think) So I can link up 2-4 desktops to it wired.
- Good wireless range & strength capable to give me good internet speed wireless.
- I liked the layout of the control panel of the DI-624+ a lot (open ports, manage stuff, ...) So I would like one where you can also manage ports, networks easily.
Some clarification on these points would also be nice:
- Fact: My ISP gives me 30 mbps download and 1,5 mbps upload speed.
- Question: When I look at the wireless connection icon in windows, I see speed: 54mbps, what does that stand for?

- Question: that router has down 24 and up 3,5 mbps, so I won't be able to fully use my internet speed? (ISP speed > Router speed)
- That router also has ethernet ports (The ones I would also like) what does the 10/100 mbps speed means on them?
