    is this good router?

    http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...=N100-1458%20P

    i dont know anything about this stuff, just need to go wireless.

    should i expect any complications because it is so cheap? compatibility issues? etc?

                  signal range or something?

                    look for 54 mpbs and 802.11g freq

                    You are aware though that optonline on the wireless will be slow compared to a hardwired pc by alot also

                            You will be much slower cause of the wireless.

                            Only way around is to just buy a plain router for like 50 bucks and run cables to the new connection.

                                  It will be like a dsl connection , but it wont be lightning fast as it is now and depending on where you are in relation to the hub the signal can alter

                                    my main pc is 10 feet from hub

                                    others will be as far away as 50 feet.


                                    Ive never used adsl, no clue what a speed difference is going to be.

                                    As long as heavy pages dont drag, i think ill be fine.

                                    Only other thing my speed comes in handy is with the uploading sites, but that is usually not time sensitive, and i can just let it run.

                                    Is the connection stable? Or will i be disconnecting everytime my cell phone goes off, or something?

                                      If you have a 2.4 ghz cordless phone on certain types of routers it will cut the signal

                                                    Yeah there are 4 ports in the back for hardwiring 4 more things and you can have unlimited wireless shit.


                                                    You also have to get the network cards for anything that is going to be wireless

                                                      If speed is not an issue for the wireless units, will any of the routers do?

                                                      i dont need speed on anything except my main pc, which will be hardwired.

                                                      What other things should i be concerned with?

                                                      why spend $150+ when i can spend $59? (just asking)

                                                        why dont they give you a range on these things?

                                                        like how far they will reach with wireless? wouldnt each unit be different?

                                                              i would like to buy this one http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...1&Sku=U13-4058

                                                              providing the range is ok to reach like 50 feet, and there is nothing else i need to look for.

                                                              can anyone tell me why NOT to buy it? lol

                                                              as i said, i have no need for speed on the wireless units.
