We have decided to go with wireless router. Before we buy one which is the better wireless router for us?

We have VP-200, 2 laptops, and PS3.

I was trying to find answers online but most of the topics are from 2006 to 2008. Some of them stating several wireless routers does not work with VP-200. I am sure there are new wireless router that would work with it?
 
I know that Sorenson provides customer's with a free D-Link DIR-628. That might be a good place to start.
 
Use a wifi bridge

Most wifi access points allow for "bridging" mode where they simply pass layer 2 ethernet traffic back and forth. If you configure a wifi access point this way, you should be able to connect it to whatever router you are using today that is already working for you.

The problem with configuring a wifi access point as a "router" is that this usually means configuring some kind of IPV4 Network Address Translation (NAT) that isn't symmetric or has problems with stateful UDP pinholes, or Application Layer Gateway (ALG) that tries to "help" by rewriting the H.225 signalling, and both tend to break H.323 signalling or RTP media traversal.

Again, a wireless bridge solves your problem by avoiding it entirely. Get a wireless access point that can bridge, and connect it to your existing router which you already know works just fine.
 
If you use their ISP's own wireless router, it would be difficult to make proper connect. Before I had u-verse but use Dlink or Linksys router. I manage to connect with wireless adapter which work great.

Turn your Sorenson VP into wireless
 
My D-link DGL 4500 Xtreme N Gaming Router use N and G ...(WPA Personal and WPA2 only mode for N) Atheros build in hardware device.. and D-link DWA 552 Desktop pci adapter my three laptops are Atheros N wireless pci-e card

Linksys router- Intel build in hardware device

if WEP not work with N just G that all
 
I was thinking of getting Cisco Valet or Cisco-Linksys WRT54GL. I am not sure which is the best choice? Thank you guys for your inputs. I am not the expert at this but we just want a good wireless router to work with our devices in our house.

Mostly free stuffs from Sorenson sucks but the VP-200. I heard few negatives on D-Link routers.

Pls note that Cisco Valet is 300 Mbps network data transfer rate. I think this one is fastest wireless router? I don't know how many mbps network transfer data rate does Cisco-Linksys WRT54GL have. I checked other gaming routers they are not even close to 300 Mbps like Cisco Valet has.

Think = guess education!!

Best way to call Sorenson's Tech Support. They will suggest which is easier to configure on wireless router.
Ask them which brand/model (best choice or avoid to buy).

Thanks darkage, I had called Tech Support and asked them this. All they wanted was the model number of the router to be sure if it work with VP-200. I gave the model number of Cisco-Valet Plus Wireless Router (the silver one) and they said it will work with VP-200... also it the Cisco-Valet Wireless Router (blue one) will work as well.

you mean you got a new modem with built in router? If you had problems before with verizon modem and your router, its proabably verizon was updating the firmware on modem, blowing out the settings which stops the proper setup with modem/router. It happens too often I car to remember.

I think it really doesnt matter what you get. It's all about understanding how YOUR network is setup in your home. Basically the problems starts when somone buys something new and just hook up the wires without understanding whats the relationship of said modem and router and learn how to configure BOTH modem and router from YOUR pc. When just throwing in a new peice of electronic equipment into your home network without taking time to understand you NEED to configure it YOURSELF is just like throwin money into fire and be all pissed about it.

I think what you are asking is will you be buying the cisco to replace the router you already have? or just add on? where to add on? are you plannign to hook sorenson vp onto the new router? do you have dsl or cable? what do you have to change on your new router firewall settings?

Netgear (some model avoid)

Avoid Bekin Router (I had one before - I dislike it)

Maybe some of them are too lazy to type down a list for models for other brand. Just said one brand (D-link) and good enough.

As a former sorenson worker, I have a Netgear wireless router 3700N...i have no problem.

FIOS is very good as I have seen them.

Dlink routers are pretty good.
Linskys routers are good, but not comptabile with VP 200.
Belkin routers suck.
