Advice with new router!
Hi guys,
I wanna buy a new wireless router but the problem is I'm not sure what to buy, especially after this problem: Wireless router keeps on freezing every 2 days
The thing is I want something similar to TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND, a 300Mb router with a USB slot for external HDD sharing and at least 2 external antennas.
Problem is the building I'm living in is kinda old and all the walls are made of reinforced concrete and I had signal problems that bad with every single model with an internal or only 1 external antenna that in only half of the room next to the one with the router I was able to get 2-3/5 and the rest of the room 1 or no signal at all.
Now, I need the router to connect 2/3 PCs, 1 smartphone and game consoles, on a daily basis as well as a wireless printer and USB sharing.
I looked for a few models at a decent price (I'm ready to spend 100 euros on this one, I just want it to work ) and I came across D-Link DIR-655. The problem is this model is OLD since it's the first router to received the Vista Certified label (or at least this is what D-Link says).
Another model that caught my eyes DIR-825.
However, I recently got a DIR 615 for a friend and after 3 weeks the router froze, just like it happened to me. I reconfigured and it worked fine after but I'm afraid not to experience the same problems with D-Link.
Another thing is I don't know how powerful those antennas are since I can't seam to find this info on D-Link website.
Any ideas?
