[CS-FSLUG] Dying Router?

[Timothy Butler]

I usually stick to Linksys -- I seem to have the least number of problems with their routers. I like the WRT54GL if all you need is a G router. If you want "N," the WRT400N has been treating me very well the last few years and now only costs $60. It doesn't have gigabit, but it still runs faster than many gigabit switched N routers as far as wireless performance goes and I just use a D-Link Green Gig-E switch that I have connected to the router for my  PowerMac and my MacBook Pro (when the MBP is wired at my desk, that is).

Incidentally, what I like about the WRT54GL is that it has the removable external antennas -- that allows you to easily connect larger hi-gain antennas as needed. Or, as I just did at church, hook it to a modified DBS satellite dish for a very hi gain bi-quad antenna.
