Deciding on the Brand

When examining wireless router reviews the most essential point to take note of is the manufacturer that's getting discussed. Many brands of routers exist and each operates slightly differently. I am a big fan of "Linksys" wireless routers, but other name brands that offer routers include D-Link, NetGear and Belkin. Though each one has their own characteristics, the basics of the wireless router should be present, including blinking or constant lights that indicated the routers' "power" status and whether it is receiving an internet connection from your internet modem.

Another important issue when choosing the type of router brand is whether it's compatible with your other hardware. To reduce the chance of network errors, a good rule of thumb is to use the same brands of Computer hardware for your network setup so that no inconsistencies exist. Most Wi-Fi routers, however, especially Linksys wireless routers, are made to be compatible and work with multiple products and internet platforms. The inter-operability between devices, though, is an issue to pay attention to when reading first-hand router reviews.

It's important that the router either support 802.11 "b/g" or "n" technology, and in many cases support all three. Knowing the difference between "b/g" and "n" models is pretty simple: the latest "n" routers should offer slightly Faster speeds and better performances than "b/g" models, but should also be backwards-compatible with "b/g" wireless devices. However, reading wireless router reviews ought to help you figure out which of these models you need to purchase for your computing requireMents.

Be sure to pay attention to the operating and realized speeds when reading first-hand router reviews of Linksys routers or any other router devices. Only first-hand users can give you an idea of how slow or Fast their own internet connection is because of their Wi-Fi router. As such, you will be able to find out from these first-hand evaluations whether you're about to invest in a quality item or 1 that requireMents function. In addition, another important factor to consider, some Wi-Fi router brands offer speed-booster-type devices.
