Hi I am thinking about setting up a wireless network in my house. I have less than 100 ft. between computers. One would be hard wired and runs XP, the other would be wireless and run Vista Home Premium. I would like it to be Bluetooth compatible. I would like to have it so that no one out side of may network could see my conection, have data encripted and lots of security. I would like it to be expandible. This conection would be used primarily for gaming. I have a 5.8 GHz cordless phone and don't want interferance. My son aventually wants to hook his X Box to the internet through this. I have been looking and reading reviews on New Egg and am a little confused. Dose any one have any thought on equipment, reliability and compatability? Thanks for the input. Have fun, Rick

You could many different opinions of which router or manufacturer is the best. I would suggest you peruse the following forums. Some of the posts will likely offer recommendations. Don't be distressed by all the problem posting, they all have issues. dslreports.com/forums/18 DSL Reports has many other forums related to security and networking as well. My recommendation is to select a wireless router vendor and model which provides the highest level of encryption and authentication. I currently use the Linksys WRT300N which supports 802.11b,g,n and WEP, PSK, PSK2, WPA, WPA2, TKIP, and AES. It automatically seeks the clearest radio channels so phones, microwaves should not be an issue. |
