Whether you need wired or wireless networking, we have your back. Wired Ethernet is the most reliable with speeds at 1000Mbps as the standard. Wireless ranges from around 11mbps to 100mbps with actual speeds about 50mbps.
Wireless networks come in many standards. From A,B,G, to N. And in between those letter, manufacturers like to make up their own brands such as Speedbooster, Ultrarange, Super G, Xtreme G, Dual Band, Pre-N, ect. Frankly any wireless router is fast enough for internet surfing. The slowest 802.11b starts at 11Mbps, which is still twice as fast as road runners 5mbps top speed. Range depends on an incredible amount of variables from distance, type of walls, position you are sitting, phones, microwaves, to time of day. G is the one size fits all standard. It will work with all other versions, B,G, and N. Generally routers with 2 external antennas will provide better range and penetration than internal antennae, though your milieage may vary. There is really no perfered brand due to the fact that only two companies make the wireless chips and everyone else like Netgear, Linksys, Dlink, Belkin, SMC put boxes around them. Whatever is on sale is just fine. Sadly, there is little difference between a $15 router and a $150 one. Just make sure it is secure or your neighbors will steal your internet whether intentional or not.
