Buffalo AirStation Wireless-N 300Mbps Router

I would like to try one of these buffalo routers. The price seems cheaper than linksys or Belkins. Thanks for the post!

We are using a Belkins N300 Router here in the US and so far it’s working great.

Reading on everyone’s comments, I didn’t realize that Belkin’s made router adapters for up to 240 volts.. Good to know..

at home I use Netgear.. it just works.. nothing fancy. though I must say I would appreciate greater range..

at work we use lots of things.. mostly linksys.. I personally like them, but we’ve had a few of those fail as well.. you really can’t generalize unless something fails all the time.. and sometimes not even then..(it might be the user or whatever a piece of equipment is connected to)

which brings me to wonder why some folks here hate buffalo so much.. we have a couple of those at work.. wireless-n routers.. nothing special, looks cool and they were no more harder to set up than our linksys models and so far, have not given us any problems at all (and we never turn any of our routers off 24/7). Same with our Buffalo external drives.. our specialists aren’t exactly the most careful people on the planet, but their drives are still trudging along without problems.. Are we just lucky? or are the others here just un-lucky? Reasons for such comments whether positive or negative would be nice, even (gasp) helpful..

Basta wag buffalo kung ayaw niyo masiraan ng bait!!!

parang nakakatakot naman yung sobrang babang presyo ng tenda. :(
does it work as promised (wireless N speeds?)

i’ve had a buffalo na wireless G router for almost 1 year na, it’s very nice and compact- roughly the same size of the PLDT DSL zyxel modem lang. good range naman so far, extends hanggang sa tindahan sa kanto. LOL!

Airport Extreme pa din po ako. :)

linksys wag200g

so far ok pa naman

@sani– where did you buy it? warranty?

@garyboi As long as there’s really something wrong with it — in my case it just wouldn’t work anymore after a year. So I replaced it and after going thru two routers later, a friend told me about Belkin’s lifetime warranty (it applies only in the Phils). It’s funny cos I was about to throw the Belkin into the trash the day before, but I had it brought to their Service Center; and although it took over a month, they did replace it like i said with a much better unit.

Fyi I bought mine at Octagon too, around 3 years ago.. I’m pretty sure they didn’t have yet that lifetime warranty in place, but the distributor here still replaced my router, which I thought was very big of them.

Tenda W311r -an N router @ PhP1160 only..

I have Belkin N150 router, so far so good. I only dislike its firmware installed which lacking some good feature. A good brand but kinda expensive one if you compare it to other with the same or similar feature.

I’m using D-Link Wireless G router at home. It’s been working fine for the last 2 years now. The only problem is with my ISP, Globe is prone with connection issues in our area.

For my next router though, I’d find something with a great load balancing feature. Any recommendations?

@jojo30 really?! you can trade-in your old Belkin router for a newer one? I bought mine @ Octagon SM Megamall Cyberzone.

I’ve had a DLink, Belkin, Netgear and now a Linksys 310N. Of the 4, I doubt I will ever buy a Dlink again cos it just wasn’t so reliable. At least Belkin has a lifetime warranty here that got me a new (and much better) router. But the range of the Linksys is the best I think, not a dead spot to be found in the house. Netgear was also good but that was a G which I traded in for the Linksys N router. Would have wanted the Belkin N+ since it had a USB port, but I got a good deal on the Linksys, and I’ve been happy with it ever since.

Just a tip Abe, don’t throw away your old Belkin router — take it back where you bought it and invoke their lifetime warranty. For my old and dusty Belkin Pre-N, they gave me the N1 Vision, which I thought was very generous of them. But I already had the Linksys, so I just gave the N1 to my sister.

Have the Wireless-G Buffalo router. so far, no problem at all.

I’m using asus wl-500w. It’s a rare breed nowadays and I luckily got it for PHP3400 at a mall shop. It’s also a wireless-n router. What makes this router special is that it has 2 usb ports in which you can plug-in a usb printer and/or a usb external harddisk (or any usb devices). Its default firmware (asus)has a program in which you can make the router a torrent or http/ftp downloader (straight to the external disk attached). Another thing is that, you can easily replace its default firmware with more powerful linux based firmwares such as dd-wrt. If you’re looking for a wireless-n router, also watch-out for Asus RT-N16. It’s the same as wl-500w but with a higher spec. A 500MHz broadcom procie, 128MB of RAM, 32MB of Flash and 4 GiGE ports. So with those specs, you can easily make this router into a server (web, file, media server). However, it’s still not available locally but based on ebay prices, this beast is priced under a hundred dollar.

@Abe: Thanks for the info!

we have belkin N wireless router at home 2 desktop connected to it and 4 laptops on wifi it works fine but sometimes you have to reset it if connection is intermittent (the prblem is with the router not on the ISP) our pldt connection is 2mbps.

Haven’t got an N-based router yet. Currently using this one which is pretty stable despite being cheap. Only turn-off for me is its lack of load balancing:

I have a Linksys WRT610N
It is terrible, not its performance but this stupid piece of software installed on it called Home Network Defender, which is almost impossible to turn off, and it randomly blocks sites like Facebook or sites which you visit frequently because it thinks those sites are unsafe. You dont even have to activate it. Imagine not having control of what sites you browse because of your router…. also Linksys support seems like utterly hopeless, just read their forums. I don’t think I’ll be buying another Linksys, theyre just pretty boxes.
