I need a new router

[Mike Cruz]

Well, I picked up a 5 piece set of cordless tools from Ridgid recently and really love them! They are powerful, last a long time, and oh so convenient! I can use them wherever I want without having to plug them in. It got me thinking... I need a wireless router. Anyone use one of the ones made by Belkin or Netgear? I see them all over CL for quite a reasonable price. ;)

This was spawned by my recent search for "router" on CL...man, there are more wireless routers on CL than ticks on a deer!

You are a funny man Mike....

The really funny thing about a wireless router is it is connected to the wall with a cord... go figure.

I need a wireless router. !

I thought we talked about this and you agreed you need a shaper?

[Mike Cruz]

Yeah, Van, I suppose "wireless" refers to what it connects to, whereas "cordless" refers to how it connects...or something like that. :rolleyes:

Steve, wireless shaper didn't fit the pun, unfortunately...

[david brum]

I wouldn't buy one. You can't plunge cut with them. They just blink and hum. Maybe you should look at a radio alarm saw.

Wireless router. And yes, it fits the plunge base.

Well, there you go, Johnny! See, ya learn something everyday... Or at least I do. :) I have to admit, though... a battery life of 150 linear feet is a little short for my book.

Well that is putting an edge profile all the way around 6 full sheets of plywood. Some will say the bit is getting near the time it needs a touchup as well. I have the cordless Ryobi laminate trimmer, I have used it a handful of times, usually when I have a non-shop related quick job to do, easy to take out use and put back. The only thing is no matter how close I put my computer I can't get a signal.

I would be really happy with a wireless router that had a range of 150 ft.:D Min be seems to barely cover my house. 150 ft would get me working in the yard on those warm summer nights.:)

I sold my radio alarm saw. Darn........(but I got $150.00 for it.)

Yeah, a cordless shaper.

[Mike Heidrick]

Wife wanted a wireless shaper - 38DD. ;)

I work as a software developer. The other day I was bragging about my new router table that I had built with dust collection in the cabinet as well as in the fence. One of my co-workers got this puzzled look on his face and then asked me why I was so worried about dust and why I felt the need to have a security fence around my router. He said "I just have mine on the top shelf of the closet in the living room!"

[Mike Cruz]

See, now, Larry...you could start the same kind of thread on a software forum about "Needing a new router"...but it would just work the other way. ;)

I bought a link belt the other day but it left marks around my waist!

I looked at a Link Belt the other day but it would leave marks around my driveway!

Right there with ya, Van... I was thinking the heavy machinery kind, too...
