Has anyone tried the Netgear WGT624 Super G 108 Mbps Wireless Router? My linksys wireless G2 is circling the drain as far as internet connection is concerned. Odd thing is that it connects flawlessly to my printer. Go figure.

Another question - does anyone have a link to downloadintg the Linksys firmware update? The linksys.com link supports only windoze. Many thanks.

Typical DSL speeds top out at well under 20 Mbit/s, so a "108 Mbps" router won't solve your problem, the speed enhancement is proprietary and not a good idea to buy until a faster-than-g-standard gets adopted.

Using TFTP, you'll be able to updgrade your Linksys even if it does not yet support browser-based firmware-update.

For an interesting alternatvie firmware have a look here:

Well I just bought and connected the new D-Link Airplus Extreme G wireless router. The installation was a breeze and there were even screenshots for Mac installation. This was a replacement for my Linksys which joined the heavenly choir last night.

Linksys Router with Mac powerbook
 

Hi
I've understood it's possible to set up security etc for a network using a linksys router with a mac. I've been told you have to attach the laptop directly to the router using a cable as the software doesn't work for macs. However I have no clue how to go about this. Wondering if anyone could take pity & direct me to some simple directions...emphasis on 'simple' as I'm no tech wiz ;) Also, the router I have is a bog standard Wireless-G of lowest grade. It's working ok but the signal doesn't seem reliable in some parts of the house so I'm thinking I may need to upgrade to a model with better range? There were at least 3 models above the one I got.
thanks!

Check out this thread.

If you want some help going through the process step-by-step, send me a private message and I'd be happy to help you out (we can coordinate a time tomorrow to set it up). I got the same help with my first router, so figure it's time to pay back the favor.

Once you get going it's not hard at all.
