I saw a distributor for Buffalo products last week in Funan. Cant remember exactly which floor...but if I am not wrong its on the 3rd or 4th floor.

From what I've read dlink seems good too. But I haven't used any so I can't comment, nor were they what I was looking for so I didn't do further research into dlink.

the only distro for buffalo products here is blumm, did you see correctly?

i have no issues with d-link apart from the fact that it runs atheros, which i find more on the proprietary side.

broadcom solutions like the buffalo whr-hp-g54s or whr-g54s are based on linux and are more compatible and stuff to me.

just a preference for linux-based routers.

Maybe she meant shops selling Buffalo. They're everywhere!

yeah haha.

best shop for all networking products is MediaPro technology. the prices are usually cheapest in SLS and they have a huge range of networking products and bundle deals.

i also recommend mediapro over hwh or coppernicus

mediapro gave me a more welcoming feeling rather then those beng types

and strangely, most of mediapro's pricing is cheaper than other shops even though it's a specialty shop.
