Ok, I think I have found a N and G type wireless router I am happy with. My next question regards router logs. I currently cannot use logging info on my router, as it stores only 128 entries and I cannot get it to email me the log. Does anyone know of a router with simple logging features that are easier to configure emailing the full log, or having the log save? I just dont want the log to clear when it gets full because I cannot see what kids are doing during the day. I only want the basic internet traffic attempts, I do not wish to fully invade my childs privacy, but I do need to make certain I can block specific URLS if I would like...

If you flash the 3500L with DD-WRT you can certainly do all of that.

Nicholas said: Hi, i have a advanteck wireless USB 2.0 G adapter okay and well the signal keeps dropping and mostly only connects for a few minutes in the night, i have a normal router so i wanted to know if i use a cisco wirless usb adapter or a linksys usb adapter if the length of range would extend so it would connect and work fast, or what do i have to do change my router? Please tell me what i can do and what is the best usb adapter for me to use to get more range.

I would look into getting some kind of N capable usb adapter. They have always provided good range for me. Also what kind of router do you have? Thats gonna matter in terms of range as well.

Whether G or N shouldn't matter. Your laptop may be able to do "N" connects but it should fall back to G as needed. Most hotspots are G speeds too.

Sounds like something that needs to be changed in your computer. Like the password may not be right or the like.

For general information on WiFi (aka 802.11) take a look at the following Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.11

Yes - but keep in mind that "Wireless G" has a carrier speed of (up to) 54 Mb/s, the data rate is lower. On averge you'll get about 20-25 Mb/s of data speed.

Yes, just because it says 54 doesn't mean thats what throughput you get, thats link rate, throughput is as Hands of Blue said. and another thing to keep in mind is when you get more than 2-3 people using your wireless, it splits up that rate. Thus some peoples need for N routers.
