Wireless Router (laptop, modem, sounds, installed)

[Miranda Sebastian]

I just bought a new laptop, and need a wireless router, to be able to get Turbo RoadRunner, which was just installed in my desk pc. What wireless router should I buy? Thank you,

Depends how much you're willing to spend.

Pretty much any 802.11n compliant router will work just fine. Linksys, Netgear, and D-Link are the top three brands.

Just to be confused, how was Turbo RoadRunner 'installed in your desk PC'? And what would that have to do with a wireless router for your laptop? And are you wanting wireless so you can move about with the laptop? or you don't want to go wired?

And yeah, what EscapeCalifornia said.

$75 out the door for B/G/N
Newegg.com - D-Link DIR-655 802.11b/g/n Xtreme N Gigabit Wireless Broadband Router up to 300Mbps/ USB port x1/ Intelligent QoS Technology for Gaming

Possibly the best wireless router ever made, no N but cheaper at $55:
Newegg.com - Linksys WRT54GL 802.11b/g Wireless Broadband Router up to 54Mbps/ Compatible with Open Source DD-WRT (not pre-load)

I second the D-Link DIR-655 802.11b/g/n Xtreme N Gigabit .

I replaced my reliable but old Linksys WRT54G with the D-Link.

Easy setup. Good security features.

PS3 and Wii online gaming was noticeably much better. Very good whole-house coverage, even to the garage, the deck and the basement, which was spotty on the Linksys. The D-Link has been on for almost a year now with no problem.

I meant to say that I just upgraded to Roadrunner Turbo from Verizon DSL. They only provided me with one modem, now I need a router for my laptop.

I forgot to mention that right now, I am using someone else computer, the reason for the difference in names.

Sounds a little shady to me. Do you know Mr. Hyde?

Talk to your ISP. I know Comcast gives you one for $10 if your willing to install it yourself.
