Alright, so I'm looking for a new router, as my one is pathetic, keeps cutting out and has nothing to do with the internet connection. I don't want to go over 80 dollars, and any help would be extremely appreciated.

Thanks!

Depends on what you need. If you're talking wireless and you aren't concerned with wired speed from system to system the Netgear N600 has served us well at my parents house. My buddy has been running his Belkin N+ for coming up on 4 years now and still says he loves it (good solution if you have a larger place and want good even coverage). I'm running a more expensive Linksys E3200 at my place...I've been extremely happy with it but it did set me back $135 when I picked it up a year or two ago.

If you are talking wired...that's a different animal altogether.

This is just my opinion based on my experiences though. I'm sure there's a few folks that would disagree...

It's for wired, don't give a darn about wired.

Thanks for the reply.

^ that makes no sense , can you rephrase that please?

Lol, my bad.

It's for wireless, I don't care much for wired! xD

Could someone also suggest a good wireless pickup thing you place inside the computer? Can't remeber what they're called.

Desktop or laptop?

And if its a desktop do you know what motherboard you have (specifically looking for if you have a PCI-e slot or if you are going to be looking at PCI cards)?

Sorry.

Will be most likely getting the ASRock Z77 Extreme4, Desktop. Thanks.

In that case, I've had really good luck with the Rosewill N600PCE cards. Their little PCIe cards that have some awesome pickup power (was still giving us 3 bars one floor down on the opposite side of my uncle's house from where we parked his router). Newegg has them for $30 right now.
