Wireless Router Help

I'm looking for a good, but cheap, wireless router for my dorm room. I need something with a good signal, can support 2 laptops and gaming consoles, and something easy to set up. any suggestions? ideally i don't want to go over $50, but if i can find a really good one, i could spend the money, depending on the price.

I've never bought anything but Linksys... fairly cheap, easy to setup and I've had two that have lasted for years.

do you know how they hold up with online gaming?

I don't think any application would have an effect on the router... as long as you get one that will support the speed you need, which nowadays should be no problem at all. I haven't bought one in quite some time, but just make sure you get one that supports the type of wireless NIC you have.

Something like this...

"G" is 54 Mbps... I doubt your internet connection is faster than that is it?

Excellent choice thar...

I have one of those but if you want to get some extra horsepower for Broadband, look into one of these...

Linksys-Cisco WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router

2.4 Gig, baby. I have one on my home network and it runs as fast as it can. We have multiple puders, the 360 and security.

this is UNC internet i'm talking about....so it could be but i know damn sure it ain't DSL

Even so, I doubt you're getting more than 10Mbps connection to the net, it may be faster to the LAN and it may even be faster than that to the net, but if it's faster than 54Mbps to the net... make me a spot, you're gettin' a new roomate.

    • I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner. 
    • How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.
    • I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
