OK I got my new Dell 1705. I currently have it wired up to the internet, but of course I gotta upgrade to a wireless system in my home.
What router do I get!? So many out there, so many pros and cons on amazon.com I am confused.
What wireless router do I buy - I want it to be FAST - I will flip if it's slow compared to wired!

Well...
1). Check the sticky at this forum for great overview of all routers
2). I have had a personal experince with Netgear WGT 624. You can read my brief review on this forum as well. Search "Netgear" and it should be something like "the best - netgear....)
You will get mixed comments here, so ultimately you have to go with what you prefer and what is cheaper but still does its job
Good luck and if you have any questions then ask -that is what this forum is for

Got it - thanks. Shoulda read that first... Well I just wish I knew what would be fastest for ME but that article is great. Sums everything up nicely.

Also
The router that I reviewed is very FAST (I am using cable modem) and have no complaints at all.
One thing to note though is when you begin your search for router, some manufacturers will say extended ranges - super fast networks "super fast G" , speedboosters, etc. What you have to remember is that in order to achieve the benefits that they are stating, you would normally have to use thier respective adaptors - either USB or PC card. Your internal wireless card will be just fine (mine is working fantastically with Netgear and has amazing speed and range), but again to get it "maybe" a little faster I would have to buy adaptors separately, which will run you around the same as routers, in most cases.
So make sure you keep that in mind when you shop for routers

You could add a AP to your current wired router.
This is the prefered way for max performance and versitility. You will be able to position the AP for optium conditions.
