Wireless Routers
#1
Does anyone out there in computer land use a wireless router to connect another device to your signal? I have a broadband signal and want to get a wireless router so my hubby can connect the laptop and surf the net while I use the desktop. I bought a Linksys WRT120N and am going to take it back because I can't get it to work. Don't want to spend a lot of money on one, but want one that is reliable. Thanks for any suggestions anyone may have. My connection is not a DSL - it comes from a small dish that is mounted to the top of my house and it gets its signal from a radio tower about 10 miles away thru a privately owned company.

Contact your internet provider and ask if they provide wireless service and which router is compatible with their equipment. I had Wild Blue/Dish Network and had to use their equipment to go wireless. Good luck

We have one..My hub does all that computer stuff. I do know that he went thru alot to get it just to his liking. But when he did it works great and runs the whole house. We also have a ROKU that runs the TV stuff. Its an incredible little device and worth every penny.

I called their tech support and after they walked me thru the install, it still would not work. They did not know why. It would connect but then disconnect only after a few seconds. Did this all the time so I couldn 't even use my desktop - it would not keep the signal going. I had to unplug the router, then boot-up my desktop each time. That would be a pain in the butt to do this everytime.

I have a linksys...Mine hooked up very quickly and easily. Have also hooked up a neatgear for a friend that was even easier. I would call the 800 number and they will be able to help you out.
does the one you purchased have the antennas on it?
