is a porter cable model 892 router a good choice for a router table?

Can't comment cause I haven't used that model, but I have found that amazon.com is a good resource for info on woodworking tools because they have customer reviews which are usually pretty fair.

You need a pretty robust router for that many users.  I know that we use a SonicWall 2040 pro for about that many users.  You are going to have to spend some money on a firewall/rotuer for that many users.  You can not expect a $100 router to cut it.  Also, for that many users you would need at least a T1 connection.

You do not need a router. What you need is a switch. If you are setting up a LAN (local area network) party, that implies that everyone will be relatively local (ie. same building). You will only need up to as many ports as you have Xboxs. There should be no lag because of the network if you use a switch with 100Mbps full duplex ports. Any lag will be because they are made by Microsoft.

Your router needs looking at. Below is a URL for you to check out.\n\nThere is also another to a tech forum where they help with networking issues.

I'd recommend a Linksys as I've used them before and they're not a let down.\nI wouldn't recommend a Belkin. The first one I bought, I found many security flaws in it and was able to crash the network easily (through 2 different methods, one intetionally, one unintentionally).\nI have a newer Belkin router atm (was free). \nIf I had a bit of money, I'd get a Linksys WRT-54G\n\nDependant on what you want to do on the network (gaming, file transfer), you may want a router with more bandwidth. The speeds that I know of on routers are 11Mbps, 54, 108, 125 & then they start hitting 300/400+

If you are needing a wireless router for home use I recommend the Linksys WRT54G.  You can get one at Wal-Mart for about $50.

Any Hawking attenna will work. They are great and extend the coverage of your router

Look up Kevin Boone Electrical Cable Selection on the Internet; you also find a table at the end of that paper.

I think you should use cat5 cable if at all possibile and a wired router. How many stories are you trying to penetrate with a signal? If you are on dial-up, what's the point, except to network the two systems.

Get D-link or Netgear, they are both really good gigabit routers. They have wireless ones, but if you just want a normal router that is very trusting and decent in price and works well with networking, then I suggest either of those two.\n\nTry going to http://www.newegg.com or http://www.tigerdirect.com for some good prices, but always check the warranty first. I think most come with 4 ports, but I am sure there are ones where you can extend to 5 ports. If you need more help, just let me know.

A Secure Linux router distro with bandwidth control.\n\nfree and better than even cisco.\n\nAlso, get Shaw Extreme cable ( 800mbs )

No reason to ask anywhere but here.  Get a Linksys WRT54GL, period.  It must be the GL version, not the G.  It is simply the best router around for the money.  It can perform as well as a router that costs $1000 plus, trust me on this one.  You can find them at newegg.com.\n\nThe L stands for Linux by the way.  Being an open source router its capabilities are nearly limitless.  Stay away from those "super fast" N 108kbs routers.  The technology is too new and you'll never hit or need those speeds.  You'll waste your money as well.  Check out newegg.com and read the users reviews of the product if you need more info.

It depends on if this is for home or business use.  For home use, the Linksys access points usually win on most counts in terms of reliability, ease of use, support, and features.  For business use, the best choice is Cisco access points.  Regardless of brand, you must make sure it is "WiFi Certified" and supports the latest encryption standard (WPA2, 802.11i) and beyond that it's mostly marketing hype.  Don't believe everything you read online, pick up a computer shopper or PC magazine, etc and read the reviews.  \n\nFor the Cisco gear (they are the market leader and win hands down and also own Linksys) it further depends on if your WLAN is large or small.  If small, you can use a single IOS-based AP, like the 1130AG or 1230AG access points.  For something a little larger, I'd strongly recommend using a lightweight architecture, with a 2006 WLAN controller and up to 6 access points.  There are larger controllers for larger networks.  This is the ultimate solution for wireless scalability, availability, security, dynamic RF management, rogue detection and containment, guest access, etc.\n\nAlso, if you go with a consumer AP, Linksys for example, don't get sucked into the new 802.11n access points just yet.  These cost more and supposedly give much better range and much higher throughput, but real world tests on Pre-N gear has been disappointing, and when the standard is finalized sometime next year, it may become useless, because the standard is a moving target right now.

Is this in regards to a modem&#92;router, if so what model?

This Wireless piece of...well... ok Print Server has always had issues.\n\nJust a thought on wireless in general, but I'm kind of dissapointed, that even though wireless tech has been around for years it is still dreadfully unreliable in critical applications such as print serving, or even network gaming. \n\nI can have my laptop, or desktop w/ wireless 2 feet from my router w/ a clear line of sight, and it will still have issues, and thats with upto date, decent 802.11G hardware. :( \n\nI'm not saying its worthless by any means, It does work just fine for spuratic network tasks (Internet surfing/email) but for any app where a releatively constant stream of data needs to be sent it seems to drop the ball alot still. I think that consumer level wi-fi vendors should focus on reliability a bit more.
