Network Hell, Routers And Wireless Access

I would like to start of by saying I am sorry for not posting as much as I should have last week. I have been going through a few headaches this past week that have diverted my thoughts away from putting up anything that would mean anything meaningful to anyone. If your interested here is a highlight.

I have been going through a little of network hell in the past 2 to 3 days. You see I have always had a wired network for my computers but my wife and I decided to get a refrigerator this week that has a wireless access point to upload pictures. But come to find out every time I configure the refrig to my netword my router got blown away. Which blew away my whole home network.

Next I went to program my XBOX 360 system with wireless access. Come to find out that I did not have my media server configured on my system. I still have not figured out how to do that. So, thinking that my router was not able to handle the broadband needed to connect to the refrig and my XBOX I went out today to purchase another router. I almost purchased the same router as I had before. Come to find out, the router that I had, which was on sale the cheapoo guy in me, was not a very good router. If your in the market for a new router I would not recommend the Linksys WRT54G model. For a wired network it is great. But, for a wireless network it has issues. I switched over to the Linksys WRT54Gs. I have not had any problems as of yet. My wife has hooked up the refrig already and when the kids go to bed I will hook up the XBOX. I still need to figure out the media center junk. Vista headache next..

Anyways, I wish I could show you all the other linksys devices that I have gone through in the last 4 years. In front of me now I have the linksys router BEFSR41. This tropper last for a while. I was able to get 3 years out of that one. But it finally burned out on last year. Then there is the wireless b router BEFW11S4. This baby did not work out of the box. I never got any time on this one. Last but not least the Wireless G router WRT54G. It still works but has a sucky wireless network. It is also on sale at this present time at bestbuy. Don't get it... Spend a little more money and get a better router that will last a little longer than that one.
