A friend of mine has a Netcomm Wireless N 150 router in his lounge. The WiFi signal doesn't reach his bedroom, and his new HP laptop drops off regularly, whereas it's rock solid with my Fritzbox. He's looking for a good value router with a powerful WiFi signal - I suggested a extra WAP but he'd like to replace the router.I put my Linksys 54GL in, at the default 70mw transmit power it didn't get a signal to their bedroom. When I turned it up to 240mw transmit power it worked well.Can anyone recommend a good basic router that has powerful WiFi? He doesn't need anything fancy, but the latest version of 802.11 that midrange laptops support would be a good plan.
