I actually have a BELKIN wireless router and it is very good, no problems at all and good access range.
But I want to know ur opinion about ur experiences with wireless routers.
For u what's the best? Why?

For me it's Netgear. I had it at my College, my Home, my Office. I also have Netgear Wireless Routers deployed at commercial access points.

I also have another DLINK Router which is also very good. But Netgear is the best.

The Netgear DG834G I have at the moment is probably the best one I have ever used. The wireless doesn't drop out, the signal is consistent across my house and all the features you could want are available in the browser-based admin panel. It was also one of the cheaper ones available at the time I bought it

Dlink is cruddy. Belkin, I'd have to say. I used to work for a wireless data tech company. I'd go with a Belkin anyday, and leave the Dlink behind.

I have a netgear at the moment. My family has four laptops all regurlary connected , and it handles it with no slow connections or dimmed speed. I forget what model it is , but it was one of the cheaper versions , but still worth my money. It was all very easy to set up too. about three wires here and there. Nothing as complicated as I'd thought it would be

I get signal across in my friends house on the street!

linksys has been doing well for me for the last couple of years, thought it has its rough ends at the beginning due to being my first wireless router set up but it has been going smoothly for me. Wasn't to keen on the tech support but luckily for me I was able to get through it and thinking about getting a new one just to keep myself current.

For me, the Apple Airport Extreme works like a charm. Up to 50 different connections can connect through it at once (but if you have it encrypted, who really has 50 devices that use internet?) and it has a very large range. It took me about 10 minutes to set up, and I have yet to have any problems with it. Sure, I have a DSL connection and my DL/UL speed is slow as the Slowsky's from the Comcast commercials, but even so my router makes it not as slow because it processes information pretty quickly.

I use ZyXEL, and I haven't had a problem yet. It's reliable, and seems to keep up with my laptop.So I'm happy all round. Although I haven't used any other routers apart from Orange's Livebox. Which I also haven't had a problem with yet.

To be perfectly honest, I'm not to sure what the best router is at this present moment in time.

So far since I've started to use the internet more often, I've used 1 modem, which was the Speedtouch 330 which I got when I purchased my broadband from BT, and then when I wanted to move into wireless, I got one of Belkin's high-speed internet routers, which has lasted me for over a year now, and has provided me with a fast service.

Lately, I've been using a router which I got sent out for having my broadband for a good amount of time, which was the BT HomeHub, which has been very good. So far it has proved more efficient than the Belkin one, giving me faster internet, as well to the other computers in house. Also, it hasn't had any technical issues along the well...

So far, from the 2 routers that I have been using, I would say the BT HomeHub has been the better of the two so far 9/10

I would also say that Linksys is the optimal choice. I have sold numerous Linksys routers to customers, with not a single complaint and LOTS of good feedback. I have gotten bad feedback from both Netgear and D-Link (especially D-Link). Also stay away from a company known as TRENDnet...I have yet to find one of their routers with good range and a strong signal.
