I have a dlink wireless that is also hardwired to two computers. If one of us uploads big files to the server the connection slows to a crawl. Are there routers I can get where that wont happen?

have you restarted the router lately? -
There is a big difference in the router OS
Get a Linksys (cisco software) or Cisco, and make sure flash it to newest version when you get homeComment

You get what you pay for... amount of ram, speed of cpu, firmware quality, etc.
I had a problem with a crappy linksys... upgraded it to a D-Link gaming router... I've never had to reboot it since. Runs like a charm.Last edited by dready; 12-04-2008, 07:01 AM.ICQ: 91139591Comment

I've had many brands in the past but i got best results with Draytek..they are not the cheapest though but they are like trucks.. robust and always on..

Are you on non symmetrical ADSL, eg 256/1500? If so then uploading will impact on the general responsiveness of the link. I was trying to upload several gigs of data but ended up giving in and expressing a couple of USB sticks to my host, because the link became so sluggish when doing anything else...Comment

Haha, I just realised "non symmetrical ADSL" is a pretty silly term... if you know what ADSL stands for...

I have access to some smartbits network testing gear and I have thought for some time now that it would be a good idea to test and post the performance stats on a bunch of routers. There are two problems though. First, I haven't had tim eto do it yet and second the newest router I have is at least 5 years old.Useful adult webmaster links -

I have a linksys that I paid 80 for almost two years ago....I can download and upload files while playing xboxlive.....I've had NO problems with it....
However, when I was using this same router when I lived in Puerto Rico, I would ALWAYS have to reset the router but it was the internet connection that was fucked up, not the router.....Now I'm back in the states on a road runner cable joint and it runs like a charm.Comment

This is half price on Amazon right now - works like a charm so far.

Get an Business/Enterprise router you won't be sorry.
Cisco (not linksys)
SonicWall
Juniper
Netscreen
etc.Comment

More likely than not, your connection is getting capped, it's not the fault of the router...Custom Software Development, email: woj#at#wojfun#.#com to discuss details or skype: wojl2000 or gchat: wojfun or telegram: wojl2000

yes of course, why would people pay 5k for a cisco when they can get a dlink for 50?
there's a difference, no doubt about it.Comment
-
Well 5k is definately Enterprise level...but you can get some (SMB - Small Medium Business) routers/firewalls for around 200.00, here are some recommendations.
