[Mr. Bill]

does it have wireless printing? thats the main thing my parents want out of a router, also is it good for console gaming and hosting severs?

[otto-san]

Play does all of that, we have a wireless printer which my dad uses.

huh

i just bought mine at wal-mart. 

[Mr. Bill]

There's a few varients like:

Play n600
Play n600 HD
Play Max N+N 300

[otto-san]

Any of them should do.

[Mr. Bill]

Which do you have though, also I found the the requirement I need for wireless printing is a USB port.

[Marcem]

I use a linksys n1000 or w/e, it's decent.  It has no usb, but you can just use network printers with another computer.

Yeah, the USB port is a must though. And I'm convincing my dad to get the Linksys E3000 router which is 150 dollars, but has a bunch of great features and a great connection throughout household's and internet speed.

Oh yes, e1000 is what I was thinking

[Kalphiter]

It's a pain the the neck, it always has problems and goes down randomly.

I have the Belkin Play.

Well there's your problem

[Mr. Bill]

Well there's your problem

Yeah I'm trying to stay away from Belkin. They seem to be "user friendly" and give you a bunch of apps to convince you to get their crappy stuff. I personally prefer Linksys and D-Link. I'm would like to get the E3000 but it's not exactly in the budget plan.

[Mr. Bill]

Bumping for more replies.

[Kalphiter]

Get a Linksys WRT54G, then install DD-WRT on it
