[QUOTE="cvx5832, post: 288271, member: 23118"] On the Netgear 824v2 that I suggested - it hasn't dropped a single connection to 5 wireless devices since I got it a few months ago. I had three routers before this one. I started to lose hope as the others started dropping connections as you described with the presence of more wireless signals. I thought that was just "the way it was" because of interference, but the MIMO from Netgear was definitely the way to go. As an avid fan of the "not getting up from bed in the morning to restart my router" club, this has definitely been a life saver. PS - The connection reliability is superb regardless of the settings. However for INSANE throughput, disable the "Extended range" feature and test moving large chunks of data through the different channels. Channel 1 worked best for me, being the least-used and non-stock of the 13(!) wireless routers around my Mac. [/QUOTE]
