new router that actually works!

I pulled my hair out with D-Link routers and extenders for over a year.
Common problems, dropped signals, power cycling etc.

Since I have bought what seems to be the perfect router, I thought I would
share the info with all. (No, I have absolutely no connection with this
company).

The router is made by Parkervision. Just google for their website and read
about it. I thought, what the hell, I can spend another $100 for my sanity.
I live in a 3600 sq foot, Masonry--tons of angles, house. This one router
gets through the whole house without any problems, I also can go out by the
pool and work, all my porches too! Worked out of the box and I have not had
any dropped signals, nor had to power cycle only once every two months or
so, if that.

Just thought I would share my good fortune in finding this.

Anyone want a DLink router and 2 extenders? I'll sell cheap!

Considering all the problems you had with em, maybe you should PAY someone
to take em off your hands... How you pay me $20 and ship em free? :)

Did you purchase the ParkerVision adapters as well?  I was curious to
know whether the router gave you the increased range with a non D2D
technology adapter.

From what I read, you need the adapter for the extended wireless, the
adapter
has a huge antenna in it

http://www.pvnotes.com/archives/2005/02/faq_on_wlan_rec_1.html

On the same site they do some comparisons to the belkin pre-n.
According to the test, the belkin is much better in a home environment
do the the mimo, but the parkervision does better (distance wise) in
open range.

I did not buy anything but the router. Thought I would try that first
before I bought the adapter as I had called Parkervision before I bought.
That is what they suggested. As it turns out, I don't seem to need the
adapter.

One out of many daves
Which D-Link router?  The 624 (extended-g)?  I have heard that some of these
are difficult to work with, or have problems.

Or the 524?  I like mine.  <g>

Or which one?  How much is cheap?  I might want to play with some extenders
and another router.  ;-)

thanks,
dave
