[QUOTE="T'Pring, post: 1648583, member: 222028"] Wireless capability just ceased [currently using network cables] on my old Linksys WRT54G router and am looking at getting a different router. I use a Mac ['11 model] and my wife uses Windows-based laptops. While the Linksys has been a dependable router [about 12+ years], I noticed that [on the Mac] it would constantly be bouncing between 'connected' and 'looking' for the wifi network*. I would like to get a different router [not necessarily new/latest] that is good for both types of computers. Current router is listed as 54Mbps and I am only testing at about 30Mbps -- not sure if it is limiting my downloads. Comcast ISP and we do not download large files or stream movies/music -- Only basic internet activity. Looking for suggestions on types/models of routers that would be compatible/usable. Thanks edit: Is the 54Mbps in actuality {less and} limiting my speed to around 30Mbps? I do understand cable speed fluctuates depending on those nearby that are using it. * I have read that the Linksys does not work that well with Macs [it was on the internet -- must be true] [/QUOTE]
