new router that actually works!

I pulled my hair out with D-Link routers and extenders for over a year. Common problems, dropped signals, power cycling etc.



Since I have bought what seems to be the perfect router, I thought I would share the info with all. (No, I have absolutely no connection with this company).



The router is made by Parkervision. Just google for their website and read about it. I thought, what the hell, I can spend another $100 for my sanity. I live in a 3600 sq foot, Masonry--tons of angles, house. This one router gets through the whole house without any problems, I also can go out by the pool and work, all my porches too! Worked out of the box and I have not had any dropped signals, nor had to power cycle only once every two months or so, if that.



Just thought I would share my good fortune in finding this.



Anyone want a DLink router and 2 extenders? I'll sell cheap!

Considering all the problems you had with em, maybe you should PAY someone to take em off your hands... How you pay me $20 and ship em free? :)

Did you purchase the ParkerVision adapters as well? I was curious to know whether the router gave you the increased range with a non D2D technology adapter.

From what I read, you need the adapter for the extended wireless, the adapter has a huge antenna in it

On the same site they do some comparisons to the belkin pre-n. According to the test, the belkin is much better in a home environment do the the mimo, but the parkervision does better (distance wise) in open range.

Which D-Link router? The 624 (extended-g)? I have heard that some of these are difficult to work with, or have problems.

Or the 524? I like mine.

Or which one? How much is cheap? I might want to play with some extenders and another router. ;-)

thanks, dave (One out of many daves)

I did not buy anything but the router. Thought I would try that first before I bought the adapter as I had called Parkervision before I bought. That is what they suggested. As it turns out, I don't seem to need the adapter.
