id6230 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I would like to suggest that you should refrain from getting a mental set of "looking for the best". As you might very well know already, technology is constantly improving on a day to day basis. Lots of companies are doing their R & D every minute. What you can actually try to gauge and evaluate is what is the best you can get for the price you are willing to pay for at the given time you are needing the gadget. Quote Link to comment

Burger Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 the older standard routers that works for the present laptops now can cost around 1.1k sa CDR king, or 1550 tp link rounter sa gilmore. Quote Link to comment
Guest Leviticus Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 (edited) I have two wifi routers.. linksys wrt54g (hehe.. I'm typing this from memory so pasensya na if I get it wrong) and a tplink TL-WR542G. funny.. the TPlink brand is cheaper than the linksys and dlink. between the two I prefer the TPlink better. I use it at our office, may wifi signal hanggang sa labas and across the street. yung linksys kasi ang daming features pero hindi ko naman nagagamit since naka dynamic connection ako. mabuti sana kung naka static IP ako.. anyway.. masmalaki kasi ang antenna ng TPlink as compared to the linksys router kaya siguro masmalayo ang signal. oo nga pala, one factor that hinders wifi signal is the metal inside your walls. pero may I suggest that you also get a wireless access point to increase the distance of your signal. hindi masyado effective kasi ang mga range extenders. in my case hindi kaya ng wifi router to provide signal in a 4-storey dorm/house. kailangan ko pa ng WAP Edited June 6, 2008 by Leviticus Quote Link to comment

HARDBODM Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 mga mtc gurus whats the difference of G and N series? How come masmahal ang N series? Mas high tech po ba ito? 15 to 20 meters away ang house ko from my other house which i plan to wifi and 3 walls in total ang pagitan, what do you think is best for me? Do i also need to buy the booster or receiver po? thanks! Quote Link to comment
Fusarium_jimini Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 ask ko lang kung established na yung N-standard? kasi yung mga available na router N-draft lang e..sayang kung bibili ako coz balita ko this year na ilalabas yung N-standard.. Quote Link to comment
bayobayo Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 N type has a stronger signal compared to G type routers.pero kailangan N type din and wifi card ng PC.I even heard na tagos daw sa wall ang signal ng N type but I have not tested it personally Quote Link to comment
Guest Leviticus Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 N type has a stronger signal compared to G type routers.pero kailangan N type din and wifi card ng PC.I even heard na tagos daw sa wall ang signal ng N type but I have not tested it personallyit depends rin sa type and composition ng wall. based on my experience eto. syempre kapag de-plywood lang ang mga dingding nyo, buong bahay magkakaroon ng signal. however.. if your walls have plenty of metal supports inside it (yung mga iron bars and mga alambre), the signal strength becomes diminished. lalo na kapag "chicken fence" ang laman ng mga dingding nyo. somehow the signal strength goes down Quote Link to comment
HARDBODM Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 sir how would i know if my laptop a NEO brand core2duo is compatible w/ a N or G po? thanks Quote Link to comment
butchick Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 im using a dlink router at home and it's fine i guess.. the connection just seems to slow down a bit when my kids start using their psp's. but it pretty much does the job for me Quote Link to comment
Guest Leviticus Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 sir how would i know if my laptop a NEO brand core2duo is compatible w/ a N or G po? thanksthere's an easier solution. normally there's a cardbus that accompanies these routers (at least my linksys did). Quote Link to comment
coooliced Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 sir how would i know if my laptop a NEO brand core2duo is compatible w/ a N or G po? thanks Take a look at your wireless chipset at network connections. Look for it in Google. Most probably your using G. Quote Link to comment
HARDBODM Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 cooliced and to all the mtc gurus who responded thank you for your time, mamya dating technician ko hope the wifi router works thanks! Quote Link to comment
HARDBODM Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 update sa mga mtc gurus last night kinabit na yun linksys g router ko kaso nag flufluctuate sa ibang parts ng compound and napuputol so the next morning(today) i bought a linksys expander and no need to configure and now my wifi is doing great even though the linksys espander or repeater ang tawag nila ay more expensive than the router hahaha pero its ok thanks ulit sa lahat :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
sleep_heavy Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I'm not a techie person but I'm using Dlink now, it's the cheapest kasi. Been using it for more than one year already.. 24/7 sha naka-on.. bihira ko lang ma-off. My house is pretty big.. thick walls and all.. I can use my i-touch even inside my comfort room.. that's about 2 rooms away from my router. Btw, PLDT DSL rin ang ISP ko. Like I've said, I'm not a techie person but I was able to set-up my router. Tuwang tuwa nga ako sa sarili ko eh.. nilagyan ko pa ng password. Some of the Best---Net Gear---D Link---TP Link Not necessarily in that order. Basta Okay sila Quote Link to comment
crazykalbo Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 DLINK? Im using a DLINK but the signal really sucks! Im on the 3rd floor of our house and the wi-fi signal is only found inside my room where the wireless router is setup. My sister, cant use wireless on her laptop downstairs in her room because of this. Im thinking of replacing this wireless router before the end of the year. Quote Link to comment
revi Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I am using DLink right now.. But the signal ain't really that strong.. When I use my gadgets (i.e., Phone and LapTop) downstairs it can't pick up the signal.. However, I rarely really use the net outside of my office which is situated at the 2nd floor of our house.. So, I guess, I have to say that DLink works for me but it won't really work for everyone.. Quote Link to comment
