View Full Version : What are some good 802.11A routers?

I want to setup a 802.11 A base network at home for my home computers. The reason is that it's set in the 5ghz wireless spectrum so there will be less interference. Also the Xbox 360 will support 802.11A so I'm convinced that the technology won't die out as I originally thought. I'm also thinking of building a 802.11G base network that will overlap it, but I may consider that later. I heard that the performance of 802.11A drops really fast as distance increases, so I'm thinking of having 2 or 3 routers around the house to ensure adequate range and speed. Any recommendations would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Why not just get an ABG router? That way you are covered for the future. If linksys makes one I'd get it over Dlink because of open source firmware. You might be able to do WDS with WPA in the future.

WRT55AG, but no 3rd party firmware that I'm aware of. I wouldn't recommend A to anybody. I'm using b/g with several neighbours that also have b/g. Also have 2 2.4 phones. No interference issues here.
