Power of the Buffalo
This is about my 10th (at least) router. I currently have 5 still in boxes somewhere ^_^
They include:
Linksys WAG200G
BT Voyager 2100
Netgear DG834G
I've tried and returned a ZyXEL draftN, the fancy Belkin N1 Vision with the lit up speed dials, and many others... (don't even consider these two if you game with current gen consoles).
I require a router that maintains a good sync, holds the line steady, low latency (for gaming pings), good wireless signal, and full uPnP and NAT Type2 support for xbox live and PS3 online gaming.
This Buffalo is now officially the best router I've had the pleasure of owning. It does all of the above flawlessly (assuming you stand it up on it's side, rather than lying flat, for best wireless signal strength). The only other router mentioned above that comes close to being able to do this is the Linksys, but I've read about issues with some of their later routers, so opted to try the Buffalo, and I'm...
every thing works as it should xbox ps3 wifi and bargain price
im on tiscali broadband and was having major problems with my siemens gigaset se587 router I couldn't get my ps3 nat type open no matter what ports were opened or even putting it in dmz and it would keep switching from pppoa to pppoe of course tiscali don't regard these as problems. so i bought this buffalo router as it was a good price and good reviews.once i received it i couldn't get it set up using the basic set-up so decided to call the helpline as i couldn't be bothered with the instruction manual and was straight away put through to a very helpful guy (not Indian)who went through and set every thing up without any problems PS3 AND XBOX both have OPEN nat without having to open any ports or mess with any settings good download speed same as before upload speed more consistent and improved ping time.all you need from a wireless router any great support if you need it.
Reliable and great for linking a Wii
Received the product quickly and went about settig it up. Did take a while setting it up the cable connetion to my PC that I wanted and this may be down to the ISP (TalkTalk). Had to play around with some settings to get it working properly and it finally kicked in after an hour or so.
Had to make some firewall settings afterwards as well to improve cable connetion performance.
As for Wireless only used this for the Wii but it was superb. Just click the button on the top, select the relevant option on the Wii and within minutes it had downloaded everything it needed and I was online with the Wii and accessing BBC iPlayer site with good performance.
Only downside about the product I can see is the lack of a power button. This is probably standard for a wireless router but in my situation I have no desire to have it on when I'm not here so have to keep pulling out the power cable (as the plug sockect on the wall isn't reachable - which is of course my...
