    Hello i just bought the HDX16 and would like some suggestions on a good router.I want something fast and with good range.Something reliable.

    I was thinking of getting the Linksys WRT160N Ultra RangePlus Wireless router but was wondering if theres something better out there.

    Thanks so much.

    I have the D-Link DGL-4500 router and it runs pretty well. Don't know how it compares to the WRT160N though.

    Look into the D-Link DIR-655 or TrendNet TEW-631BRP

    Just looked at some reviews for the D-Link DIR-655 and the reviews are awsome. Sooo is the way to go rather then the WRT160N?

    Thanks....

    Reviews look some better for the DIR-655, its one of the most powerful routers available.

    Range is very good, alot of because the 3 antennas, ive went 3 blocks away and got 2 bars, on my iPod Touch even!

    Ive never had good luck with Linksys, so i would go for the d-link, who ive never had problems with.
