New Router recommendations? for EVO

[cporta]

Hey all, my current router is on it's last legs and I'm looking to replace it. Can anyone recommend a good n router that works with the evo? When I say work I mean connect, stay connected and have the internet work all the time. I leave the wifi on the evo on all the time at home.

I had to specify "work" because I've had problems with a SMC and trendnet router where I would be connected to the routers with an ip but could not get internet.

I will be connecting a laptop with an n card to this router as well.

Thanks for the help.

I use a Linksys Router at home that has N-built in. I have a broadband modem that it runs off of. It seems to work great for me. I have not had any problems with it at all. My EVO and by Tab connect right away when I get home, and they stay connected all over my house. On my Tab, I don't even turn the data on, I simply run off WiFi. I have my two devices and my wife's Epic, and it seems to run very smoothly.

This is my second Linksys router. I think it is the E1000 or E2000. I can't remember off the top of my head.

I would give it a thumbs up. I got it about six months ago and has worked really well for me. Just my opinion.

Thanks. I'll check it out.

Reviews are pretty good. It's a common brand, so I would shop around on web for prices.

The E1000 is a good router made by Linksys. On the Netgear side, I would look @ the WNR2000. Both should provide both good speed and signal strength to your Evo & laptop.

Just picked up the e2000. Thought the dual band and gigabit port would come in handy. I'll let you know how it goes.

Indeed, the WNDR3700 is the best consumer router out there right now. Just got it installed at home and it this thing blazes by anything Linksys ever made. Make sure to install the DD-WRT drivers as soon as you get it to get the most out of it.

E2000 is working great, plus it was on sale last week. Thanks for the help drjb74.
