Subject: [Hampshire] Choice of home wireless network set-up
I have looked at the thread last year about which router people recommended,
but would be grateful if people felt able to comment on these - or add any
others that I ought to have included. I would be grateful for both
favourable and unfavourable feedback. I am particularly interested in
reliability and reach.

Netgear DG834G¹
I have this myself and am very pleased with it. But our house is on only two
floors and has thin walls. How does it perform where penetration is more
difficult, with three floors and thick walls? I have read the reviews and
they are mixed, with some adverse comments on reliability.

Netgear-DG834PN-RangeMax-MIMO-G-Wireless²
This sounds ideal. But I would like a bit of feedback if anyone has had
experience of it. It may not match what is claimed for it.

Zyxel P660HW³
Recommended last year by Tim and John Cooper. Any further comments? Has the
ZyXEL Prestige 660HW-T1 enough of an advantage over the P660HW to justify the
higher price?

And has anyone any experience of either the Solwise HomePlug AV /11n Router,
or the Solwise HomePlug ADSL Modem Router + Solwise HomePlug
Ethernet/Wireless combination?(4) Or of similar set-ups?

TIA.
