well its time to retire old faithful- dlink dgl4500(10yrs oldish). i may have had to reset it 5 times during that time! its been incredibly reliable but its just too friggin old and im afraid it may no longer be secure. i havent had any security issues, that i know of lol but would rather not take any chances.
im no network guru by any means but ive done my due diligence in trying to find a solid replacement for my aged router. im not familiar with the terminology or technology but i like to learn so feel free to teach me up! honestly i dont know what info you need to make a good suggestion. connecting my 2 hardwired rigs to the internet and as for wifi- a laptop and two cell phones is pretty much it. security is my most pressing concern. with solid connectivity with both wired and wireless comes next. something easy to set up. soooo which of these routers do you guys/gals suggest i go with?
