What type of router are you currently using?

Great Device, Great Price

When spending money on anything related to computers, you want to get the best product for the best price the first time around. Many people encounter computer problems after unknowingly buying products that are not ideal for them.

If you want the best speed and performance for your home network, try a router like the D-LINK 655 Xtreme Wireless Router. This router is 802.11n compliant, and 14 times faster with 6 times the range of 802.11g devices. The D-LINK 655 also separates wired and wireless traffic into multiple data streams, unlike some routers that will bundle everything into one stream. The device can then place streams into categories based on their sensitivity to delays or annoying interruptions. This means that streaming video online will not lag because someone else on your network is checking their e-mail or seeing who got voted off "Survivor." The router itself is pretty sleek and stylish, too.

There are cheaper models that will perform well, but if you have three or more computers on your network and do any online video streaming, definitely consider this bad boy. It is affordable, but more importantly, it gets the job done.
