a.) i have used a dlink router and wireless card for a while, and it worked okay, but i wasn't crazy about it...so i went and bought the wrt54g router...and love it...

b.) if you're gonna buy the wrt54gs router and then only buy the g wireless card...i would suggest it b/c you're not getting your money's worth from the router....

c.) compatibility issues...no...i have the wrt54g router at home and when i go stay with my mom during the week her boyfriend has the wrt54gs router...and i'm on it right now...so no problems...

best advice...either get the 54g w/ speedboost router and card or get the 54g router and card...

definately linksys.

My friend bought a D-LINK DI-624 and it was dropping out constantly. My friend also barely got any signal and he was only about 30-40ft away from the router. I had to build him a cantenna so that the signal would be strong enough to not get disconnected all the time.

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The release date of Grand Theft Auto VI has moved quite a lot since its original announcement in 2023, but it finally looks like the game has found its final launch slot. Rockstar today had a new video upload on its YouTube channel, and while it wasn't a new trailer for the game, the company revealed two things. This was the pre-order kickoff date for Grand Theft Auto VI as well as the game's official cover art. The company revealed that June 25 is when fans of the series will be able to pre-order their copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders will be available both digitally and in retail stores. The newly unveiled cover art shows off the two new protagonists, as well as a few more characters that are probably vital to the campaign storyline. Shots of vehicles players can use like a light helicopter, motorcycle, sports car, and speed boat are also seen here, alongside a shot of a crocodile. "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," says Rockstar describing the campaign's protagonist duo. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been confirmed yet, though it's expected by many to land after the console release. When asked about this, the Take-Two CEO says it considers the core audience for the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be on consoles.

    • How to fix a Secure Boot error on Windows 11: No boot device found.

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      In rare occasions when you turn your computer on you will be greeted with a Secure Boot error followed by the message "No boot device found" If you go into the UEFI and disable Secure Boot the system boots up just fine. Below is a method I found online to fix the issue Disable Secure Boot and boot into Windows (If Bitlocker is enable you'll have to go to https://aka.ms/myrecoverykey on another device to find your bitlocker recovery key). Find a flash drive and make sure it's formatted Fat32 Create a folder on the flash drive called EFI and a subfolder inside EFI called BOOT On your computer navigate to C:\windows\boot\EFI Copy the file SecureBootRecovery.efi to your flash drive\EFI\BOOT Now reboot the computer and tell the computer to boot off that flash drive. You should see a black screen with some text telling you it has repaired Secure Boot Turn Secure Boot back on and reboot and your computer should boot normally.
