yeah, I have the same one.  cost $150 but no problems, like needing to restart or anything.  also nice web configuration.

if you ever looked inside, you can see a heat sink.  pretty fancy

I as-well have one and the performance on it is superb! The heat sink inside it looks... "sexy". evil6

EDIT: Re-sized the picture, it was to enormous. Smile

DGL-4300 works great.  got it for $125 with $25 MIB.  Got a D-link 15 dbi outdoor antenna and set up a network with my buddy down the road.  he gets about 6/1 of my 9/1 connection.

and Cox doesnt suck anymore.  i moved and now get every bit of my 9/1.

Very cool.. yes that is the best router on the consumer market right now.. I am really impress that Linksys has yet to really answer in the gaming market.. I would just wish that DLink would lower the price just a bit.. With the future of 802.11n which is going to be capable of 400Mbps.. I am really interested in where this sector of the gaming community is headed.

i was and still am considering the dgl-4300 but with 802.11n coming soon like swimmer said im still undecided. i have the mn-700, got it for $20 over a year ago and still works fine so i guess i dont need a new router soon.

i actually have a westell versalink 327W. and i love it, better then any router that Ive ever had. give better speeds, and better pings in games. and its super easy to modify, i upgraded the standard wifi card in it to the Intel pro wireless card and got about 20% more coverage. i would recommend this router/modem to anyone that has DSL.

I have the Netgear WPN824 and it's awesome.

Quote from: www.netgear.com
NETGEAR’s RangeMax Wireless Router extends your wireless network coverage up to 10 times that of standard 802.11g, thanks to an advanced Smart MIMO (Multi-In, Multi-Out) technology that incorporates seven “intelligent ” internal antennas. The antennas continuously scan your home, automatically sensing physical obstacles and electronic interference, then dynamically adjust the wireless signal to compensate and maintain a clear connection. Even throughout large homes with thick walls and multiple floors, you enjoy reliable high-speed connections, with virtually no dropouts or dead spots. What’s more, securing your wireless network has never been easier. NETGEAR’s Touchless WiFi Security allows you to easily establish the highest level of wireless network security (WEP, WPA/PSK, or WPA2/PSK). In addition, with an integrated Security Dashboard, you can monitor and manage access to inappropriate websites. These parental controls are password protected and are router-based, so every PC accessing the Internet can be managed from one central location.

When you connect to the router wirelessly the router selects what antenna would give you the best connection. After it is in your house for about 48 hours it scans your home and bounces the signal off objects in your house. I previously had the linksys WRT54G and it sucks compared to this router. I have had no problems with the router. I've played Xbox Live on it and downloaded large files over wireless and ethernet and no problems.

Check out the file I posted, shows the LED's

This might be a stupid question, but, do you need internet connection sharing if you have a router?

I am thinking of buying the Linksys BEFSR41 Wired Router, I don't know about the wireless one.  I have read that they are slower.  Any information would be appreciated.  Thanks,

I have the WPN802 hooked to a WGT624, and have had no problems with either. I can even get connection at a neighbors house which is about 200 feet away.  smitten

They may be slower.. but the expandability is often worth it..  You are only go to see the "slowness" if you have like 15 computer all downloading something at the same time or pushing 3GB files around the network..
