i'm planning to buy a wifi adapter. i'll go for pci wireless G.

what's the best and reliable model? must support vista too.

i'm interested in linksys but when i search for the drivers on the net, it's dated 2005. looks like linksys aren't focusing on the drivers and many people from the linksys froum are having difficulties using it on vista.dlink has to many negative user feedbacks. i'm not sure about belkin though.

im planning to buy a new modem today to replace my aztech dsl605E
that modem keep on disconnect recently
need to reset/turn on-off few times before it establish n connect to a new connection

what modem would u guys suggest for me to buy ?
im using the internet 24/7
torrent n rapidshare occasionally
n i will partner the modem with my linksys wrt54gs

pls give me some advice

thx in advance guys

for all-in-one (modem, router & wireless) i don't have confidence with any brand

all-in-one
after 24/7 usage, lock-up for no reason
very fast overheat, slow down network
network troubleshooting for average user is hard

btw yr broadband should come with modem ? just use back old modem

at least u did some homework

have u try search for PCI wireless N, should have more driver for vista

alternative go with USB wireless adapter G/N (come with Vista Logo/certified for Vista)

i did run the diagnostic feature in that modem
result = all PASS

i also check the SNR Margin n Line Attenuation
both seems to be in good range/ratio/signal

btw,wats ur method of troubleshooting that modem ?
do u mind to share ur method ?
i would like to know

thx

recently quite number user facing DC issue, recommend u hang for a while

try connect DSL605E to PC, use winxp dialer, does it reduce the DC ?

Ok i think i understand now...i will get 2 unit WRT54GL + DD-WRT firmware + WDS + original modem.
Is the above great for 2 unit semi D house.....

yup, go with 1 unit WRT54GL, coverage not good then only buy 2nd unit WRT54GL

try place yr WRT54GL between both house

N too expensive for me.
i don't want to buy a USB type cos it's hot and reception not as good as PCI type.

thx for the advice mate
im gonna monitor this issue in a few days
see wats the outcome
only then i will decide whether to buy a new modem or not

this should narrow down

i agree USB is hot, but reception on par or better "you use usb extension cable, to tune 4 maximum signal"

I'm planning to setting up wireless internet since the location of phone line that will be installed are quite far from the telephone pole, as well as the computer is inside the separate rooms.

I have aztech DSL 600E from previous streamyx acct left unused for about 3 years and not sure either it's still functioning or not.

There are 2 laptops equipped with Wireless and one desktop which not yet equipped with wireless.

Stuffs that I need to bought:
1 Wireless N USB dongle

My Question;
-Should I buy All in one (modem+router+wireless) or use old modem and buy router + wireless?
-What type of router+wireless / modem+router+wireless you recommend? This would involve 24/7 downloading/browsing/streaming

i already bought Dlink DSL-520B to replace my troublesome aztech 605E

and i no longer have the frequent disconnect problem

so i recommend this modem for u guys

pls recommend me one, need it urgent!. budget less than rm 200. will the dir-300 works? using billion modem provided by streamyx now, and i'm nt sure should i get the all in one or not. and i dont know how to set up these things too, or is it plug and play ? i dont need wireless adapter right ? if i just connect the pc thru lan cable to the router/modem ? no need set up anything right ? pls anyone. tq =)

raining again,

I think you'll need an adapter if your motherboard doesn't have built-in wi-fi adapter. As for buying all-in-one modem router or separately, it's up to personal choice.
From what I read here, Linksys wrt series and buffalo routers are good buy.

Hi Guys,

Come see Asus and CNet network products in PC Fair KLCC Booth 207 (Forken), Booth 448 (MTEC) and Booth 534 (Funtwist/Kingmax).

Plenty of hot offers and free mystery gifts. Click this link for details: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/993377

Finally get myself a WHR-HP-G54-AP buffalo router after poisoning by guys from buffalo router thread.
Want to ask some questions. Is this model same as WHR-HP-G54 ( mine has -AP after G54)?
I would like to flash it to tomato firmware. Wise or stupid choice? Any risk that I would brick the router during flashing?
