I've never had an issue with my Linksys stuff

Scratch my last post, the old router was a Cisco.

Oh and in other news I got a 50 foot Ethernet cable so I hooked my Xbox up to the router and now I have faster download speeds and a better, more reliable connection.

Yeah lol. Linksys is Cisco's line of networking tools.

Netgears are notoriously garbage. I would have suggested going with a Cisco Linksys router. I have never had an issue with a Cisco router. Also, yes, going LAN with a Cat5e/Cat6 cable is your best bet. Fastest speeds, no interruptions, constant connectivity, and predominance over WAN connected devices (i.e. you won't get bandwidth raped when other people connect and start streaming porn off your connection). Also, don't use a WEP key for your WAN security. Even at 128 bit security, they're easy to crack.

The router has a one year warranty so we'll see how it goes, but thanks for the info! This is why I post up on here because there are some people that really know their s**t on here. Thanks again!

i always used Linksys untill i had one overheat to the point of not working chalked it up to being old got another one. That one decided it was acceptable to reset all my setting to the point where the internet or wifi connection wasnt working everytime id go back in spend a good bit of time resetting it. if it ever came unplugged power flashed even when in a surge protector etc it would do it again. I got tired of doing that got another one not sure what happened to it, but one day it just stopped working. checked all the setting everything couldnt get it to work so i switched brands got the one i got now havent had any problems out of it so far.

Linksys was good back in the day. There newer stuff is garbage. Netgear has the best routers out now.

Net gear is what I suggest to people when they ask me what to get for a router. Everyone that I know that has had a lunksys has switched to netgear cause of the pore quality linksts gas become

I switched from a Netgear to a Linksys (Cisco)... much happier.

I think it's the difference between high and low end routers. I'm pretty sure the Cisco one that was here before was a cheap one, and the netgear I bought was 160 bucks. Which is still working great by the way
