Re: [IRCA] Cable Routers OT

[Walter Salmaniw <canswl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Welcome to the 21st century, Patrick ;-)   You have a small place, and not
a complicated set-up.  My view is just about anything will work fine.  I've
owned 1/2 dozen routers over the years, and none ever caused any issues,
and most were pretty much plug and play.  Probably best to stick with
recognized names like D-Link (which I use) or Linksys.  Just make sure you
enable WPA encryption, which I'm sure you'll be prompted to do.  I've never
noticed any RF issues, though presumably you'll stay away from using the
home's power lines.  I'm seeing more and more of these units for home use,
and they scare me....visions of Broadband over the power lines.  73,  Walt.
