Home Forums Discussions Problems Most Reliable Wireless Router

Hi; My office is connected with many Wireless Laptops with DLINK wireless adapters and off course few desktops connected wired.
I used to have DLINK router DIR-655 which worked fine for long time till I upgaded to 4.73. Then I noticed it was slolwing down the AC. After many changes in the setting, we could not fix the problem.In the mean time I bought a Lynksy router from Sams which solved some of the problems but I want to consider something better.
Which is the most reliable wireless router in your experience(no dropped signal, no lost charts etc, good signal) with good range ?Thanks a lot,

Whatever router you use:

we found the most problem free approach is to use VNC to look at the screen of your hardwired physician's office desktop from your laptop/tablet in the exam room. With this even if the router drops the connection, your desktop is still logged into AC with the chart open; so you could just login to your office desktop. So basically you will be using your tablet/laptop as a viewing station rather than logging into AC. This would be just like logging in from your home to your office work computer and seeing office screen. (hopefully this is not all too confusing).

You will have to turn firewall off in the office workstation for this to work.

Is Logmein an example of VNC? Is there a faster way of VNC than this?

I believe they are different completely.

Logmein goes thru the net.

VNC as I mentioned above: if you use in your office: would be local. So I would think it should be a bit faster- though not measurably faster (I just tried to loginto my next computer in the office thru logmein).

If you access office comp from home: maybe logmein may be faster. I do not know as we do not use logmein from home.

Thanks,

I have a little written-word ADD. More than three lines and my eyes just glazes over and wondering what's for dinner.

Hi Still any advise about the best Wireless Router compatible with AC ?

DPCC,

It depends on how much you want to spend. There is Netgear, D-Link, Linksys....and then there is Cisco.

With Cisco's Wireless LAN Controllers, your wireless performance would be light years ahead of what you have now. And, with 802.11n, speeds would be extremely fast.

I have been very satisfied with the range, speed and ease of setup of the Belkin N wireless router.

What is the easy way to increase the range except adding antennas which has not worked that well for us. How do we add extra router or rangebooster to do that ?Thanks a lot

You have to use more wireless access points or add one if you aren't using any.

Fairly easy if you use the same brand of wireless access point as your wireless router.
