Use WPA, WEP has been cracked for years. You will need to check the docs for your router on how to setup WPA.

A home router is best if you wish to connect multiple computers to the internet. It provides firewall protection, internet sharing, and allows you to connect multiple PC's together without having to worry about network IP configurations, local firewall configurations on every PC, and figuring out how to set up internet connection sharing.

A home network with a router is the safest. Use a network hub to connect the to computers to your in-house network and then the router will connect to your internet.\n\nSee below for help:

First of all, you should place the router near the center of the home. That should allow full coverage for the entire house.\n\nWhat you didn't identify is which wireless protocol your router is? A, B, G. This will identify the actual range of the wireless router.\n\nNot sure what you mean by "BT Hub". To run a wireless network, you need a router not a hub.

Linksys is good but try 2Wire home portal also... I recommend 2Wire. Check the link:\n\nhttp://www.2wire.com/?p=8

Hi Jon,\nWhile you're free to surf eBay for older 1700 series routers for example, what you'll want is an 800 series Cisco router.  This is Cisco's newer ISR (Integrated Services Router) that is not only your best bet for a home use broadband access router, but will give you the VPN functionality you need, and you have wireless options as well.  Check out the 851 for currently $399 list price or the 851W for $499 which has dual ethernet and wireless as well.  Both models have a 4-port 10/100 switch and an SPI firewall and IPsec VPN.  You also have 871 and 871W options for a little more.  Check out the link below to compare models based on your needs, this also has links to all the data sheets.  Also, to find a Cisco partner/reseller to buy one in your area, go here: http://tools.cisco.com/WWChannels/LOCATR/jsp/partner_locator.jsp

If you are just looking for 802.11b you should be able to get one pretty cheap.  If you want to put a new wireless card in your laptop later that is capabable of 802.11g, then you may want to get a router with both b/g compatibility.  You'll also want to see what type of encryption it has like WEP, WPA, etc.  You'll will want secure your wireless connection with the highest level of encryption possible.  Also, don't forget to change the default password for the router.

Linksys has a nice wireless/wired unit that is great, I have been using mine in a big church for some time now, and it works flawlessly, and was easy to set up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRT54G\n\nUpdate the firmware from 3rd party.  Much better than linksys firmware.  All your troubles will be gone.  Best firmware HyperWRT.  Did I mention it was free?  You need v4 routers or less.  Linksys did a bad thing and downgraded their routers with v5.

Get D-link or Netgear, they are both really good gigabit routers. They have wireless ones, but if you just want a normal router that is very trusting and decent in price and works well with networking, then I suggest either of those two.\n\nTry going to http://www.newegg.com or http://www.tigerdirect.com for some good prices, but always check the warranty first. I think most come with 4 ports, but I am sure there are ones where you can extend to 5 ports. If you need more help, just let me know.

ideally and cheaply put one in the center of the house... this not only gives you good range for single access point but also reduces the amount of signal that goes out to the surrounding area.... so that someone in the street finds it harder to find your signal...\n\nIm not sure what kind of wireless router options Comcast offer... but make sure you get a wireless router/modem option that has strong security / encryption for your signal.. as the signal transmitter will be close to an external wall... \nI have a Belking wireless modem/transmitter for my connection that not only has a strong signal and encryption but also has an option for "Bridge".\n\nThis means i can get more of them and use them in Bridging mode. You then enter the MAC addresses of the routers on either side of it and it will talk  to them (only them)  and pass the signal along.\nNo extra network cables... all you need are places that you can put a extra hardware with a plug socket. I have used this configuration in 4 story houses and it worked fine.\n\nso bascially find a quality router that offers the bridge option.\n\nremember that you WILL need a computer with a nic card in it to set the routers up... if its a laptop even better... as you will need to check them just like any access point that is not directly attached to a network cable.\n\ngood luck.

No reason to ask anywhere but here.  Get a Linksys WRT54GL, period.  It must be the GL version, not the G.  It is simply the best router around for the money.  It can perform as well as a router that costs $1000 plus, trust me on this one.  You can find them at newegg.com.\n\nThe L stands for Linux by the way.  Being an open source router its capabilities are nearly limitless.  Stay away from those "super fast" N 108kbs routers.  The technology is too new and you'll never hit or need those speeds.  You'll waste your money as well.  Check out newegg.com and read the users reviews of the product if you need more info.

If you have broadband such as DSL or Cable then you need to get a home Wireless router. DLink, Netgear and Linksys all make models priced about the same with the same feature set, look for one on rebate. If your PC or notebook does not have a wireless card then you will need a wireless card as well. Several vendors pack a router and card in the same deal so just do some checking.\n\nIf you do not have broadband but have Verizon you might want to look at their data plan. If your in a EVDO area speeds can be very good but some programs like games do not play well over their network. T-Mobile also has a pretty good data plan from what I've read but I've not used it.\n\nIf your on dialup then your options are a bit limited although there are wireless routers that can use a modem instead of broadband.\n\nIf you find this useful please give us a thumbs up and best answer rating.

While a d-link router #604 is not a BAD router, there is a much better one I just changed to recently. I was having trouble with a Linksys router so I did research on routers in general and found that Belkin routers are much superior to competitors. I got a Pre-N which is the next level up from the 802.11g specs. It gives me twice as much connection speeds at 108 Mbs when I use to have only 54 with Linksys. It also provides 600 times the coverage area for wireless conections. It is also compatable with both 800.11b and 800.11g.  Compatability is VERY Important! I found the technitions to be of great assistance as I could not use the instructions in the manual as my setup was always wireless from when we upgraded from dialup. So, we were never wired into the modem. I found the hardware firwalls (2) to be superior to either other hardware firewalls and especially stronger than software firewalls. I think you should do some more research into differant routers and then decide what is best for your own situation. We all have differant needs, so it is difficult to say what would be best for others. I also think just going with the lessor expensive 800.11g with Belkin would be a great choice. Belkin has been around for many years and so has a great reputation for its hardware, as well as offering really good service and warrenty. Good luck in your search for a router.
