The Netgear ProSafe's are pretty good though too, but that Linksys with the 3rd party firmware is very impressive.

<< These home-based routers just don't compare to something like a cisco guys. >>

But Linksys are CISCO ........

The only thing that went wrong with my previous linksys is that it did not like hurricanes and getting 85 - 185 v AC on the powerline.
I replaced it with a WRT54G and that's working fine including a wireless network set up today.

I went ahead and bought a Prosafe from Netgear. We'll see how this one works.

At least it comes with VPN.... that could be fun.....

They all suck, roll your own router, you'll be better off.

The prosafe's are pretty good. I don't think they are real popular though.

Right now I'm running THIS The 660 one Grin

I've got a Pix that I'm deciding if I should keep the Pix or the routefinder.
