Woah

The office where I work uses a small wireless network. We have anywhere from 10 to 20 people connecting at once, and since we have to use AT&T Slow as Molases DSL High Speed DSL, our connections blow and the internet is constantly bogged down. Unfortunately we're ineligible to use U-Verse, so 5mbps DSL is the best we can do now (aside from a hardwired T3 connection from the studio lot, but they charge us an arm and a leg for it).

Would upgrading our wireless router make a great difference, or are we just screwed?

At the moment we're using a Netgear RangeMax with a Linksys Wireless-G Access Point.

Changing routers will probably not make much difference.
Make sure the router is set to use one of the lesser-used channels (e.g. 3, 6 or 9) to minimize interference.
If you're using both of those routers like implied, make sure they are using dissimilar channels (so 3 and 9 would be a good bet)
Is there no cable internet available?



None.

Woah

Not really. We're on a studio lot (I work for a TV production company) and they're very against us even having DSL.

My netgear rangemax wpn824 constantly loses connection. Nobody in netgear has a good explanation for it. From what I hear, the WTR54g is the greatest router ever, especially if you flash tomato or DD-WRT or whatever on it.

I think we went from a Netgear to another Netgear and both suck. Unfortunately I can only recommend what to get rather than just make that executive decision, so I'll definitely mention the WTR54g, thanks.

NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface

NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.

NimoStar shouted: They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available
that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_Man that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".
