Choosing a wireless router


Till now the router that I have been using is WRT54GL with the tomato firmware.

But I needed the N frequency for faster downloads and hence I decided to standardize on a new model

The features I wanted are:
1. n capable.
2. USB port
3. dd-wrt
4. external antennas.
5. Atleast 32 MB of RAM and 8 MB of flash.
6. The wired ports should be gigabit.

So I started from: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices

Finally settled on Linksys WRT600N for $168. It is much more expensive then the WRT54GL for $60.

I choose it over WRT610N becuase this one has external antennas and hence better coverage.

The installation instructions are here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/WRT600N

Any feedback on http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices#Ubiquiti ?

    Hi Vikas, does the external antenna really help…I recently bought a wireless router and I made the decision based upon the reviews on the top 3 routers…I got from here..http://www.consumersearch.com/wireless-routers and I ended up buying Linksys WRT54G2 as I thought I don’t need that much high end that you have choosen…
