Are these MIMO routers worth it at all? I'm looking at getting one and my router will be on the first floor in the north corner of my house, while I'll be mainly working in the conservatory on the south side. A distance of more than 40'.
Any recommendations.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."

Just to bring closure to this thread, I went for a Solwise in the end. Appears to work pretty well, wireless has a good range, and it has VPN passthru. My old Buffalo didn't have good wireless coverage, and it didn't have VPN passthru, so I couldn't dial-in to work.
Thanks for the advice peeps.Comment

I too also bought the solwise. it seems to have excellent reviews. Got it off Amazon.

I've used a wired Netgear router (DG 834) for years, can set up VPN, NAT, works a treat and never had any issues. Not quite what you asked for, it being not wireless, but I don't quite get the opposition to Netgear that seems to pervade this board.Comment

I use a Linksys (WAG54GS) - no problems here - Wifi to 2 laptops (both XP) and a PS2 (via a WAP54G), and cables to 3 PCs (2 XP & 1 Linux) and a Slug (NSLU2).
IPsec no problem from wifi or wired connection(s).Comment

They seem to get a lot of stick but I use a DLink DSL604T (I had a 604G before that but had to replace it when we got zapped by lightening a few years back).
The old 604G did used to drop the Wifi connection approx 20 mins after booting the router from cold, it was then necessary to reboot it again but after that would be fine - so I guess a heat / RF drift issue.
However, the 604T seems fine and copes with multiple WiFi / ethernet / OS connections with no probs.Do what thou wiltComment
