[SWLUG] Recommendations for a router?

[P.G. Richardson]

One issue I have run into a couple of times is the transmission power of
the router's aerial for wireless networking. Might not be an issue for you
but anyway ... fwiw

Bought latest netgear N router, plugged in at home and works fine with my
laptop regardless of where I am in the house.

Lent it to a friend who wanted to replace his aging D-Link so we set it
up. The wireless connection to the laptop downstairs was unstable and the
transmission strength was always low. Restored the D-Link and the
connection was fine. Lesson learned ;)

Cheers
