it depends sa laki ng bahay mo at sa kung paano mo gamitin.
pero sa brand, definitely its LINKSYS (Cisco).

kung dalawa o tatlo ang floors ng paggagamitan mo, bilhin mo yung mas malawak ang COVERAGE kaso lang siyempre mas mahal.
pero pag isang floor lang naman ang working area, dun ka na lang sa "medyo malapit" lang ang naaabot na signal pero mas mura naman... tutal hindi mo naman masyadong kailangan ng sobrang layong naaabot na signal kung isa lang ang floor mo.
dapat mo rin i-consider ang THICKNESS at DAMI ng walls sa bahay niyo.

bro, for more detailed information, please check this out:

http://www.linksys.com/ <<-------------------------

bilhin mo palagi ang PINAKABAGONG model o version para hindi agad malaos ang bibilhin mo.
personally, i own a LINKSYS E2000 (Php 5,900+).

good luck.

Netgear (Wireless-G Router), the cheapest one is better and easy to install. The expensive one is very problematic.

you're welcome, bro.

pahabol lang, mag-canvass ka muna at baka maka-mura ka ng up to Php 1,000 sa ibang computer stores.
medyo namamahalan kasi ako sa binili kong Linksys E2000, $99.99 ang presyo na nakalagay sa internet pero ang mahal na nung binili namin dito (Php 5,900+). dapat pala ni-review ko muna ng maiigi bago ako nagbayad.
lastly, mawawalang bisa ang magandang wireless router kung mabagal naman ang internet connection niyo sa bahay.

again, good luck (pasensiya na ang dami kong sinabi, hehe).

it shouldn't be about the brand... but the type of signal.
the 802.11 protocol uses three bandwidth frequencies 2.4 GHz, 3.6 GHz, & 5 GHz
and has four versions: a, b, g, n.
the most common is the 802.11g, it operates mostly on 2.4 GHz frequency
and has a speed of up to 54Mbps and an indoor range of about 38 meters, outdoors 140 meters.
the most recent is the n type, 150Mbps and on some models up to 300Mbps.
indoor range: 70 meters outdoor range: 250 meters.

if you plan to get the n type, make sure you get an n type receiver too.
it would be stupid having a 300Mbps access point with a 54Mbps receiver.

Here's some reviews from CNET: http://reviews.cnet.com/best-wireless-routers/

I hope this helps.

bro, what's an "n type receiver"? is that a type of gadget or is it INSIDE the device (i.e., laptop)?

yep it's a device. on most laptops, it's built-in.
if you have a brand new laptop, most likely it has the 802.11n wireless receiver.
on desktops, oftentimes does not include a wireless receiver
so you'd have to buy either a PCI card or a USB dongle for a receiver.

802.11n = 150-300 Mbps
802.11g = 54 Mbps
802.11a = 54 Mbps
802.11b = 11 Mbps

wow! thanks for the info, bro.
that's the first time i've heard something like that ("receiver").

(mahalaga pala ang feature na 'yan pag bumibili ka ng isang gadget lalong-lalo na sa laptops or netbooks.)

good day!

I have also Linksys Cisco in my home. Wireless-G.. But i n our office we buy Netgear-Wireless N., it has long range and baliwala sa kanya ang wall,, malakas ang signal kahit malayo ka. kaso palaging nag disconnect.. di ko alam ano ang cause.. baka nga sa PLDT na ISP.

probably bro.pg hindi mo naman ginalaw yung router hindi nman mawawala ang signal.you should call PLDT para icheck nila.gaya rin yan dito sa office namin.tinawagan namin PLDT tapos nang puntahan ng kanilang technician ok na ang connection.
