I recently got to try a variety of Wireless-N routers and have picked the winner. I first gave a cheap Belkin version a try and it is not even worth mentioning by name. My Macbook Pro failed to connect to it when I chose the Wireless-N mode and had to use it as a Wireless-G router. I then got the extremely cool, eye-catching, geek-pleasing, easy-to-use and expensive Belkin Vision router. It was a whopping $160 and provides some highly satisfying stats on the display. I tested it using the online speed testing sites and it was very accurate. The buttons on the front are a little hard to push and don’t have a good feel but the display provided me tremendous satisfaction. However, due to the cost I figured I would give the Apple Airport Extreme a shot. It worked effortlessly with the Macbook pro but not so well with my other PC and due to the limitations in the number of ports (just the one port to hook up the Cable line), I decided against it. The one feature that really attracted me was the Audio port but I never even got around to trying it out. I then gave the Linksys WRT300N router a go and it worked pretty well. It occassionally needed a reboot probably from the Bittorrent traffic that downloads my Tekzilla and NBC Nightly News Podcasts. So, I changed the settings in utorrent software to limit the number of outgoing and incoming connections and ever since it has been as stable as two fingers stuck together with SuperGlue.
