looking for a wireless router

[dkitt10]

basically I got my grades back and my parents are allowing me to by a wireless router for our exsiting wired adsl connection


now which ro9uter would suit me

-id like connection all over our house we have a medium sized house with basment and upstairs
the router would be down stairs and my main concern is to have connection throughout the entire basment and I have a place to put it so its in the middle of the house

-id like a router that i could use for playing counter strike and not lag out or have any internet lag due to my wireless

i was thinking about the D-Link DI-624 and use a dlink card in my laptop to enable 108 mb/s instead of 54 mb/s


will this one suit me?

if your laptop has a pc card slot, it will work.

I have a D-link 614+ and its great, i was worried about range and purchased a larger antenna for like $20 and no problems at all. Im sure the regular antenna would work fine but i never gave it a chance.

it's been my experience that all the products which claim to run at 108 are notoriously finicky. Personally, I'd rather go with a top of the like 802.11g router, like the Linksys WRT54G. I especially like this router because its firmware is upgradeable to a few hacked versions, which allow range to be boosted and advanced security features to be enabled.

it was reviewed by MaximumPC and they confirmed its speed of 108...
