Which Wirless Router with UPnP - Bang for the buck?

[BrittQ]

I want to stream music/photos/videos from my computer to my PS3. From what I read my airport extreme does not support UPnP.


I tested it with Medialink. The odd thing is only my video files would show up. Other people reported problems with Airport Extreme.

I'm looking for a good wireless router for the money that supports UPnP.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I guess I will just connect my mbp to the receiver... PS3's media browser is horrible... Especially for large libraries...

I use Trendnet TEW-631BRP
it is a great router for a cheap price

If you could figure out what ports are being used to send all that stuff out you could forward those ports and not have to buy a new router.

If you don't feel like doing that then I like my D-Link router. Routers are really a personal preference type thing so you are going to get a lot of suggestions.

wait, hang on! are you telling me that an airport extreme won't stream to a ps3?! that's rubbish - I was considering upgrading to an extreme in the future as I will be made router-less, but this is bad news. To clarify, I currently stream wirelessly via medialink.

Can anyone confirm or deny this crazy talk?!

I would also like someone to confirm/deny this issue.
From what I read somewhere is that since the router does not support UPnP. But I thought thats what medialink did... it's a UPnP plugin or something along that line.

I could get video to show up, but not music or photos. So this makes me think that the router works, but the error was on my end.

Now I can not get the ps3 to even detect medialink...

What router are you using now Mark?
