I'm having trouble with my wireless router. It works fine in my office, but gets spotty in the rest of the house. Weak signal, signal coming in and out, etc. I think it is because there's a lot of interference (lots of nearby microwaves, cordless phones, and other networks), plus some distance between the office upstairs and the xbox downstairs. What is a good router? This sounds promising: Netgear RangemaxAnyone know if it's good? I have a Linksys (few years old now). --Winin

I really like my SMC. It's an older Barricade, but I get a great signal all over, and its sitting the rafters of my basement. Netgear is pretty good quality stuff, though.
You may want to change the channel setting in your router. Cordless phones @ 2.4ghz can really mess with them, I am finding.

Yeah, I changed channels to one that no others were using, but still trouble. I changed my phone for a 5.8 ghz one. Still trouble.
I have an older SMC as well, but it can't do WPA and I can't get it to reset (and we lost the login info).
/edit
Oh yeah, and when on my old phone (2.4 ghz) I got tons of static on every phone channel. I couldn't hardly use it, which I why I upgraded. I think my neighborhood has a lot of interference.
