Looking to buy a new router.
Have had problems with the linksys wireless g brodband router (2.4 GHz)
We operate a business at home, so we have 4 computers that require internet.
We also have a Playstation 3 that requires internet to play online.
We need a stable, fast, and one that has a lot of range.
So far I'm looking at the DIR-655 (D-link), or the WRT400N (Linksys).
What is dual-band, is it worth it for my situation?
What specifications should I look for in a quality router?
Dual band means it operates on the 2.4GHz Frequency (B/G/N) and the 5 Ghz frequency (A/N). The 5GHz frequency is less crowded so there will be less interference, but it also is shorter range. So if you have a bunch of computers close to the router, it's worth it. Otherwise, probably not.

Dual band is a great option, especially if you don't want to upgrade older machines. Draft N is the new norm as far as routers go these days, depending on your internet connection speed however, they may be a waste of resources as unless you have better than DSL, the added speed is bottlenecked by the speed of the internet connection itself. D-link is good...but if you have had Linksys in the past and rely on static IP's keep in mind that D-link uses a different address and you would have to change all the static IP's on your equipment...not serious but an added step D-Link uses the default router address of 192.168.0.1 and Linksys uses 192.168.1.1 all equipment in the lan requires an address supporting that (ie. 192.168.1.101, 102...etc) Of course if you are using automatic DHCP this is all a mute point. But as you are running a small business I would think you would at least have some static IP's (I know I do and have to).

I am working on possible helping with a major network and thought i had this all set up at home and wanted to send my lap top some files. I can do it by Messenger but it makes me mad that they are not networked together.
When i run Network setup in My Computer, it seems to work fine on the laptop.
When i run it on the main computer it gets to the final screen having given me no errors and says can not complete setup.
When I look at the Laptop Network, it mentions the Desktop but I can not access it on there. The Desktop does not show the laptop one.
I have the desktop on a wired connection to a Linksys router and then to the modem (Cable).
The Laptop is going on wireless and I dont know if this is a issue.
I told the setup that they are both directly connected to the intenet.
I checked pinging through IPconfig and both reply.
I can not figure out why this is giving me problems.
if anyone can give me any suggestions I'd apreciate it.
