    Which wireless router ?

    I've always been happy with our DG824M, as I never used the wirless connection.

    Now Mrs F wants the cables out, so I've bought a PN15G kit for my SN95G5 and a Netgear DG834GT router.

    My PC will connect but the connection locks out regularly ( apparently a common problem on the PN15G ) and my wife's AJP laptop refuses to connect properly ( she has an 802.11b wireless NIC built in and no PCMIA slot for an alternate card ).

    It would seem that the Netgear is very fussy about what it connects to, over the wireless.

    I need a router that is simple to setup, allows full port forwarding and most importantly has a reliable wireless facility.

    What would you suggest, please guys ?

    b/g should be interchangeable, just need to make sure it's enabled on the wireless router. (there are options to run at b,g, or both)
    (or at least that's the case on the DG834 we've got)

    Netgear was really easy to connect to in our situation, thrown all sorts of things at it.

    Looking at the GT: doesn't look too compatible with b at all... the 834 normal

    dunno, maybe i'm talking cobblers
