coverup Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 (edited) My wireless router died the other day, and I am looking for a replacement. Unfortunately, this particular model (Dlink 724P+) is no longer availalble. Could you guys please share your experience, what is your experience with more recent products? The features I am looking for are: Printserver which works with Linux (obviously) Backward compatibility with 802.11b Must support SSID broadcast off and WPA MAC filtering Decent firewall Reasonably priced (of course) I was reasonably happy with Dlink 724P+, it worked reasonably well with my Intel 2100 3BPro card+Linuxant driverloader, though the card did tend to loose connection time to time. I would prefer to stick to Dlink, but will consider other options of course. Edited August 20, 2006 by coverup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rohitsz Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Hi, Taking your feature request one by one w.r.t DLink ADSL G604T Wireless Router A:Printserver is i guess a more of a LAN issue,correct me if i am wrong :-) B:This is 802.11 b/g compatible C:It suppoorts SSID broadcast and WPA D:It supports MAC filtering too E:It has NAT & firewall embedded in it. F:Price INR 4000(3 months ago) I guess it will be priced well low in US/EUROPE.. just my guess. PS: the only problem i am having with it is configuring port forwarding... but i guess that's the lack of effort on my side than the router ;-) thanks, rohit.

ianw1974 Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 I have a D-LINK 504T which is OK as a router. I got around the firewall using filters, and now my ServGate does all the firewall work instead of the router. However, it doesn't have print server capability. I have a workstation with cups installed for this, but print servers are cool though, I should invest in one :D It doesn't have wireless, but then I have a separate wireless access point. I know of Netgear DG834's which have wireless and 4 port router with firewall as well, but again, no print server as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coverup Posted August 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Thanks, guys. It turned out that only the power adapter died, and the roputer was fine. That's easy to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
