Hey there I'm kind of a Newb when it comes to wireless so I'd really appreciate your guys's help. When my new 1530 comes I want to be ready to have wireless around my house. Any suggestions on routers and maybe a guide to setting it up????? Thnx a bunch

Ya I have the same computer and it came with the wireless N card right? Well what I did in order to get the most out of what I payed for got a dlink DIR 655. It has wireless N draft and is the best router I have ever had. Setting it up is as easy as running the CD or using provided static IP for manual setup which takes a bit more knowledge. NOTE: MAKE SURE AND UPGRADE FIRMWARE! Takes care of dropping wan issues. Good luck!

Hey there thanks a lot, from looking around a little it seems a the DLink DIR-655 is a good option.....think I'll go with that

Ya I like it plus you can allocate bandwidth as needed so My computer and Xbox360 have full bandwidth and WISH enabled. The others eh not so much. HA! Good luck!

lol it looks like we're pretty much in the same boat.
i ordered my m1530 on 6/11 and it should be here 7/11.
but i went with the linksys WRT350n. i haven't had a chance to test out any wireless-n connections yet, but everythin seems to be workin fine with my older laptop (wireless-g). only thing i hate so far is the factory firmware. everytime i disconnect the router, i have to go back into the ip page and reset all my settings back to default. then mess around with it a bit so my computers can pick up the router again. i'm really lookin into DD-WRT right now. -
