Pimp my internet
Jun. 29th, 2008 02:53 pmDear Lazyweb,
I tried shopping for a router and got buried in alphabet soup. It's been too long since I read up on how the kids are making the guldurned contraptions these days, and I really don't have the time right now.
I want a device that I plug into the cable modem which gives up to 8 computers the ability to access password-protected wireless internet throughout a two-story house. It's okay if some outreaches of the house have weak signal. I'd prefer something name-brand and relatively robust so we don't have to fiddle with it and it will play well with whatever random card someone is using.
I will learn to configure whatever I end up getting. I'd prefer something user-friendly, but I am a smart cookie and I can adapt. Please advise.
