A new router in place

Got a new wireless router.  Been having trouble with the old Belkin G + MIMO that I had. It kept "not remembering" the computers on the DHCP client list, and as it WAS acting as the DHCP server, that seemed to create a problem of Guild Wars connection timing out, as well as Teamspeak3's connection timing out.  Frustrating, when I built this new machine to play and talk while playing in the first place.
This is the option I chose.  The Netgear N300 aka WNR2000.  It's installed, and hopefully fully configured for surfing, gaming, and Teamspeaking.  Having a few minor wireless issues, but hopefully they are or will be resolved.  Seems like a nice device, and is lots better in terms of what you can configure and how to configure it.  Had a Netgear router before the Belkin, and back then they were horrible to configure, but once you had them right, you couldn't beat them for range and performance.  At least they've made the configuring part easier.  Setup was no problem.  $49 price tag didn't break the bank, either.

So, I'll see you guys in game to see how well this solution works.  It better...lol.

God bless, geek on, and GW rules!!!
