[QUOTE="JeffBookPro, post: 411622, member: 32399"] I've had a wireless N gigabit netgear router and it has been working fine, until my dad brought his xp laptop home and connected to it. Now the wireless signal got messed up. I spent hours restarting the router and then it worked again, but the wireless went away again. Now my macbook won't even connect to it anymore. I have heard this dropping of the wireless is a common complaint on a Netgear. My SSID is still broadcasting according to the router's firmware, but my macbook and his laptop can't even locate it anymore. So with that plus the woes of connection dropping would you reccomend a Airport Extreme Base Station? i can easily return the Netgear and throw in $60 exra for an apple airport extreme router. Also, If I do get the AEBS, will it let me hook up another wired router to it so I can add more than 3 wired connections? thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
