    Ok, I'm looking for a new Wi-Fi router/access point, mainly Linksys ones, as the signal from our old one keeps dropping in and out. I'm prepared to spend $150-0(I wish) and would like it to incorporate either B or G wireless signals. MIMO would be a nice plus. Thanks to anyone who can help!

    I prefer Netgear and you shouldn't have to spend over $50.

    I'm good at notebooks, but when it comes to Wi-Fi I'm a complete Noob. Anyway, can I get a good MIMO access point/router for less than $50?

    Here is a very nice linksys mimo router.

    Here is a nice Netgear MIMO router.

    These are my favorite MIMO routers and if you need help, just ask or PM me, or any of us.

    But if you really want to save money, Wireless G is a a good choice and is pretty cheap also.
