Help picking a router

Ok, I've gone crazy with purchases lately and now have three wireless
routers. (I will return two of them.) I'm using a Dimension 2350 with
XP wired and a Latitude D520 for the wireless. Among these routers,
which should I use? Help! Thanks.

Hi,
Linksys WRT54GX2 worked very well for me.
You did not mention what version WRT54G is. No experience on Netgear.

If you don't mind spending a little these routers are the WIFI installers
top pick for range,
quality and features. You won't find them in most retail locations, do a
google for the model
that you want and buy from one of their authorized dealers.

My own take is that EnGenius (how clever and modest) rebadges products
with little or no regard for usability, Senao access points being a case
in point.

How many EnGenius/Senao systems have you deployed to gain the personal
experience to valid your "take" on their usability?

Half dozen or so. True PITA.

On average for me 3-5 commercial systems per week. Now we
aren't talkin mom and pop systems but the real deal. Engenius
are very popular with almost all commercial installers. Now I
won't lie. They have serious delivery issues. It's not unheard of
to go months without getting product and dealers have built quite
a network to trade equipment between each other to balance their
inventory needs so don't be surprised if you have to look a bit
to get what you want. Esp. this time of year....things just go to
snit for them...and they always have some sort of excuse but
aside from that the products are solid and the range IS the best
in the industry for its price range. That cannot be disputed.

Cheers!

I don't know any comm class installers that do more
than an install a day and thats really pushing it. We're not
talking a single router here guy...we're talking a complete
wifi infrastructure and that just doesn't get done in a couple
of hours. The company I worked for is a dealer for Engenius
in fact the only dealer for those products for 4 states (at the
time). Things have changed alot since I left...

Cheers!

Well...but you do this as a profession, not as a Googleite like Navas.
