This is my 3rd wireless router this year. The first one (LinkSys) broke down earlier this year due to some problems to the transmitter restarting ever minute or so. I replaced it with a Belkin and that one died on me last week.
Prices of Wireless-N routers have gone down significantly in the past months so I checked out alternatives. No more Belkins and LinkSys for me and when I saw the Buffalo AirStation retailing for just Php3,200, I thought I’d give it a try.
The Buffalo Wireless-N Nfiniti Broadband Router and Access Point promises up to 300Mbps network speeds with the 802.11n Draft 2.0 and a push-button setup. It’s got one WAN port at the back and 4 LAN ports along with it. It also has options to mount it vertically, horizontally or even wall-mounted.
For Php3,200, I thought it’s a good bargain for a wireless-n router and this is the only other brand I thought I could fairly trust.
Which kind of wireless routers do you guys use and what’s your experience with them?
@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.
I have the cheapest wireless N router here in our country, which is Tenda W268R with a price of Php1,275. I got this unit 2 days ago and it’s working fine though I have to observe it first.
@sani– where did you buy it? warranty?
katakot ung tenda ah..hehe
im currently using linksys wrt610n…bought it to replace my linksys wrt54g2 2months ago. so far, its been working like a charm.
@andre marcelo tanner – didn’t experience your problem with the 610n… though you may want to call their toll free tech support or online chat support to fix your problem. they’ve been quite helpful with my previous G router. linksys all the way:)
linksys wag200g

Airport Extreme pa din po ako. :)
I’ve been using Edimax wireless router for a year now and so far Im not having any problems with it. We just turned it off maybe 3 times since day 1. It has 4 ports as well and a very cool white finish.
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!
hi. compatible na ba sha sa Windows 7 when setting it up?
Basta wag buffalo kung ayaw niyo masiraan ng bait!!!
Buffalo then flash it with the latest DD-WRT. The best!
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..
bought the same exact buffalo router yuga. so far so good. no problems naman.
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..
That’s one Hard Fucking wireless there recommend the buffalo fuck
I would like to try one of these buffalo routers. The price seems cheaper than linksys or Belkins. Thanks for the post!
This is a excellent post about the Buffalo N Router. I would like to share with you some details about day trading. Day trading is the practice of acquiring and selling financial instruments. Two of the issues that traders examine: a monetary instrument’s volatitilty and its liquidity. Liquidity gives a trader the capacity to enter and exit a certain stock at an excellent price, whilst volatility on the other hand, is really a measure of the expected day to day price range at which a day trader operates. Some people debate that day trading could be immensely risky and might lead to rapid financial losses. You can find nevertheless, trading techniques and trading systems that base on underlying principles and market price movement which professional or active day traders use.
