    Can anyone recommend a good wireless router to use at home? Something that doesnt cost a fortune. I have a Dell laptop with built in wireless.

    Cheers Nutjob. I'll take a look at that.

    Have you heard any reviews or recommendations for the Fonera router?

    Same(tiny irrelevant differences) routers different on-board software


    Here's what you need to know if you decide to go with FON

    A. Your security will be diminished due to having no wireless encryption. Any attacker who half knows what there doing can cause problems

    B. Unless you have a Business contract that allows for this you can be guaranteed ur breaking ur terms of service

    C. You need to look into how XBOXs and PSPs.... (if you have or plan to use them) will handle FON. (not that they work with WPA anyway)

    Its just for a home network and home browsing. I'll be staying clear of FON so if there is any chance of a security issue.

    Ill take a look at the router you mentioned above.
