Code:
[09:14] <BrainDeadGamer> i need some help with buying a router
[09:14] <xBlueXFoxx> D-link
[09:14] <xBlueXFoxx> best brand
[09:14] <xBlueXFoxx> belkin drops
[09:14] <xBlueXFoxx> linksys sucks.
[09:14] <BrainDeadGamer> i was gunna get a linksys for 60 dollars
[09:14] <xBlueXFoxx> D-link I've found as my favorite.
[09:15] <xBlueXFoxx> simple to use
[09:15] <xBlueXFoxx> fast as hell
[09:15] <xBlueXFoxx> etc
[09:15] <xBlueXFoxx> not near as much setup time
[09:15] <xBlueXFoxx> and actually fucking works :+
[09:16] <xBlueXFoxx> of course, that's my opinion, but I would say it's fact
[09:16] <xBlueXFoxx> because yeah, every other router I've had sucked :+
[09:17] <BrainDeadGamer> okay
[09:17] <BrainDeadGamer> i was also gunna buy a D-link for 35 dollars
[09:17] <BrainDeadGamer> But it was a "N-150"
[09:17] <BrainDeadGamer> and it showed others that are like N-300
[09:17] <BrainDeadGamer> and N-300+
[09:17] <xBlueXFoxx> Moment hun. I'll see what model mine is.
[09:18] <BrainDeadGamer> kk
[09:18] <xBlueXFoxx> DIR-628
[09:18] <BrainDeadGamer> Hmm
[09:18] <BrainDeadGamer> lemme /q ingame
[09:18] <BrainDeadGamer> oh
[09:18] <BrainDeadGamer> and every router gives wireless internet, correct?
[09:19] <xBlueXFoxx> uhhh iunno, whatever you're getting should say, or be quite obvious if it has antenna's
[09:26] <BrainDeadGamer> o/
[09:26] <BrainDeadGamer> how much was ur router
[09:26] <BrainDeadGamer> was it an expansive one?
[09:26] <BrainDeadGamer> expensive^
[09:27] <xBlueXFoxx> I got no clue.
[09:27] <BrainDeadGamer> does it cover ur entire house?
[09:27] <xBlueXFoxx> indeed
[09:27] <BrainDeadGamer> o/
[09:27] <BrainDeadGamer> im worried with the cheap ones it wont :/
[09:28] <xBlueXFoxx> 4 ethernet and wireless, standard for most wireless routers
[09:28] <xBlueXFoxx> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833127288&cm_re=d_link_wireless-_-33-127-288-_-Product
[09:28] <xBlueXFoxx> that's a slightly older model than mine
[09:28] <xBlueXFoxx> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833127241&cm_re=d_link_wireless-_-33-127-241-_-Product
[09:28] <xBlueXFoxx> another slightly older, but closer
[09:29] <xBlueXFoxx> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833127215&cm_re=d_link_wireless-_-33-127-215-_-Product
[09:29] <xBlueXFoxx> Better than mine.
[09:29] <BrainDeadGamer> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833156242
[09:29] <BrainDeadGamer> i was gunna get one almost same as that
[09:29] <BrainDeadGamer> but was D-link
[09:29] <BrainDeadGamer> 1 more question
[09:30] <BrainDeadGamer> so if i put the wireless router in the room my pc is in then i can just take a ethernet cord and plug it into my pc?
[09:31] <xBlueXFoxx> plug in the modem (ethernet) that is hooked to a standard modem-pc, put it in the internet in port on the router
[09:31] <BrainDeadGamer> ahh kk
[09:31] <xBlueXFoxx> get another ethernet cord and plug it into the router (1 of 4 ethernet ports on the back) that goes to your pc
[09:31] <xBlueXFoxx> then you can have 3 other pc's on the other 3 ports
[09:32] <xBlueXFoxx> or, just use wireless, that the router will broadcast for you
[09:32] <xBlueXFoxx> you can encrypt the wireless so that neighbors don't use your network
[09:32] <BrainDeadGamer> im in the country
[09:32] <BrainDeadGamer> dont have to worry about that
[09:33] <xBlueXFoxx> you can have as many pc's on the wireless
[09:33] <xBlueXFoxx> as your bandwith will support
[09:33] <xBlueXFoxx> I got 3 pc's on wireless
[09:33] <xBlueXFoxx> my ipod
[09:33] <xBlueXFoxx> my sisters laptop when she comes over
[09:33] <xBlueXFoxx> and 1 pc on ethernet
[09:33] <xBlueXFoxx> all on DSL 10mbps internet
[09:33] <BrainDeadGamer> the pc ur on now, is it the ethernet one?
[09:33] <xBlueXFoxx> so you should be fine
[09:33] <xBlueXFoxx> no mines wireless
[09:34] <xBlueXFoxx> router is in the other room
[09:34] <xBlueXFoxx> I can still download torrents at 1.5mbps, so yeah bandwith should not be an issue
[09:34] <xBlueXFoxx> (pretty much as good as ethernet)
[09:35] <BrainDeadGamer> win
[09:35] <xBlueXFoxx> one dlink router can support a small city block.
[09:35] <BrainDeadGamer> so how would u hook it up
[09:35] <BrainDeadGamer> just plug in the internet cord to it?
[09:35] <xBlueXFoxx> manuals and shit come with it
[09:35] <xBlueXFoxx> power cord (derp)
[09:35] <BrainDeadGamer> ahh kk
[09:35] <BrainDeadGamer> ^
[09:35] <xBlueXFoxx> modem to router (ethernet)
[09:35] <xBlueXFoxx> router to PC (ethernet)
[09:35] <xBlueXFoxx> then set it up with the included CD
[09:35] <xBlueXFoxx> which is not required, just recommended
[09:35] <BrainDeadGamer> o/
[09:36] <BrainDeadGamer> ahh
[09:36] <BrainDeadGamer> okay so i just got 1 pc in the house thats in use
[09:36] <xBlueXFoxx> so you can set it up to your personal liking etc.
[09:36] <BrainDeadGamer> but when i get my laptop we will get a router
[09:36] <xBlueXFoxx> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833127241&cm_re=d_link_wireless-_-33-127-241-_-Product
[09:37] <xBlueXFoxx> I recommend this or better
[09:37] <xBlueXFoxx> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833127315&cm_re=d_link_wireless-_-33-127-315-_-Product
[09:37] <xBlueXFoxx> This is what
[09:37] <xBlueXFoxx> I call better.
[09:37] <xBlueXFoxx> :+
[09:37] <xBlueXFoxx> I would like that but I don't need it
[09:37] <xBlueXFoxx> instead of 4, this one has 8 ethernet ports
[09:38] <xBlueXFoxx> I'm sure you wouldn'
[09:38] <xBlueXFoxx> wouldn't need it either
[09:38] <xBlueXFoxx> Maybe if I owned a building and made a LAN center I would want it
[09:38] <BrainDeadGamer> there will only be my i7 and the laptop
[09:38] <BrainDeadGamer> and maybe a netbook
[09:39] <xBlueXFoxx> and any small idevices you have etc
[09:39] <xBlueXFoxx> but yeah you should be perfectly fine
[09:39] <BrainDeadGamer> oh
[09:39] <BrainDeadGamer> ye
[09:39] <BrainDeadGamer> Ipod
[09:39] <BrainDeadGamer> and idk if ill hook up the wii
[09:39] <xBlueXFoxx> since I can host an army of computers on my network
[09:40] <xBlueXFoxx> I got 4 computers, 1 ipod, a laptop sometimes
[09:40] <BrainDeadGamer> Nice
[09:40] <xBlueXFoxx> and 2 neighbors because I don't like encrypting
[09:40] <xBlueXFoxx> on my network
[09:40] <xBlueXFoxx> (however I did password my router settings so they can not toy with it)
[09:41] <BrainDeadGamer> nice
[09:42] <BrainDeadGamer> http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/d-link-d-link-wireless-n-150-router-dir-601-dir-601/10134592.aspx?path=8cd713dd49fe2a0f74355dca1827c984en02
