In urma cu ~ 10 zile, mi s-a pus pata sa-mi cumpar router wireless. Locuiesc la casa si am un desktop + laptop. Sa-mi plimb mereu cablul de net pentru laptop prin toate camerele, nu este tocmai fun. Optiuni pentru routere wireless sunt destule, dar sa faca fata pe o distanta de ~ 15m via 3 pereti…e cam complicat. Initial vroiam sa cumpar WRT54GL (Linksys). Un router bunicel din cate vorbeste lumea despre el pe forumuri, dar mi-a soptit cineva ca este un router ideal pentru apartament / camera (via Somnoros) . WRT54GL, a picat + ca nu prea aveam optiune sa-l cumpar, decat prin comanda online sau sa merg pana la Bucuresti. In Buzau, nu sunt magazine care sa vanda Linksys. Momentan.
Dupa ce i-am explicat unui angajat de la Flanco, ca am nevoie de un router wireless cu raza ~15m si sa faca fata la 2-3 pereti, mi-a recomandat un router SMC (SMCWBR14-N2). Ei bine, l-am cumparat si spun ca acest router face toti banii (~250 RON). Usor de configurat, acoperire mare si securitate buna. Ideal pentru cine sta la casa sau pentru o firma cu 2-3 birouri. La doua camere departare de locul in care este instalat, am semnal wireless 3-4 liniute (din 5 maxim) si s-a imprietenit foarte repede cu RDS-INFONET (Buzau) :D.
