Dlink 624+ router

[max]

Hmm...I get about 40-50Mbps with a good signal. But when I have walls in between, the speed can drop to as low as 5.5Mbps

funtus,Are there any walls between the router and pc/laptop?

netfreak, havent gotten a router yet. I have a Netgear wifi card in my desktop.

Max,How did you check the performance? On windows or on Linux? How many walls were there between the router and the PC. Is Netgear Linux friendly on desktop, was it easy to get drivers?

Netgear sucks at Linux compatibility! If you want to use wifi with Linux then I recommend using a router connected to the Linux desktop for wifi connectivity. As for laptops, Intel 2200 PRO b/g card is very well suited

Are you planning to convert to Windowz (to use this Netgear card)?

 

[max]

no, i am happily using this card with Linux and ndiswrapper. Planning to get a router to fix the slow speeds

What does your setup look like? Are you using multiple cards in ad-hock mode?
