[NFBCS] Wi-Fi Router replacement Advice

[Brian Buhrow]

	Hello.  I suggest the Night Hawk.  It's been around a while, seems to
work well with screen readers, and has pretty good support.  Remember that
the lower the radio frequency, the further distance the signal travels, as
well as the less speed you need, the lower signal strength you need.
Another suggestion, before you replace your old router again, I'd take a
laptop of yours and do a scan of the radio frequencies in your house with
your wireless turned off, particularly in the 2.4GHZ band.  Then, when
you've figured out which of the channels is the least crowded, set your old
router to use that channel.  Remember, that in the 2.4GHZ band, only
channels 1, 6 and 11 are completely isolated from each other.  So, if you
have a bunch of stuff in channels 1,3 and 4 that's visible to you when your
radios are off, but 7,8 and 9 are pretty clear, then choose channel 11.
If your neighbors are using some of all channels, then pick the least
crowded of 1, 6 or 11 and try that.  that might just get you what you need
without having to lay out anymore cash.
