Hi, does anyone have any solid experiences of wireless access points (or routers) with good reliability. I personally have had problems with D-link and therefore will not use these again for a while, but does anyone have good experiences they would like to share?

TIA

Stu

What sort of thing are you looking for ?
Personally I run D-Link in the office and had no problems at all, totally set and forget.

At home I did run a D-link 604 DSL Gateway and found it to be fine.
I recently upgraded to a USR 9106 GAteway as I needed something that would handle higher bandwidth as I use an 8 meg connection.
This too has been excellent.

Buffalo is meant to be a good brand. Only had experience with one of their products but it was a piece of cake to setup etc. Mmmmm... cake.

I need to extend the range of an existing wired LAN in a company and would like Access Points with good solid connection reliability. The problem I had was about 9 months ago with a couple of D-link Access points that kept dropping the connection every few minutes, tried all sorts of different channels and locations, but still happened. Maybe I was unlucky with the batch but both had the same faults. Needless to say the customer wasn't very happy!

Thanks Lee, I've not heard of buffalo, I'll check them out!

I've been using Linksys and have been happy with them.

The only problem I did have with my D-Link 604 was it too dropped connection, but this was fixed by a firmware upgrade

AH! The old firmware update fix:) , as I remember I did this at the time, but to no avail. Too Late, Too late was the cry! We ended up putting all wired connections in (at great cost) so Nooooooooooo! To D-link
