    Good Router To Buy?

    I'm looking for a new router for my cable internet for my home, since my old router continuously drops connection. Can anyone recommend any good routers that dont drop connection?

      I have had zero problems with Linksys for home / home office use:
      Wired: BEFSR41
      Wireless: WRT54G

          Buy anything (I also like Linksys though) but D-Link

                      I have the D-Link Gamer Lounge, and it's the best I've owned. Thinking about upgrading to a dual WAN one (probably made by Syswan) soon.

                          I had a WRT54G but after some research over at [H]ard I went with the newer DIR-655 with the 3-antenna design and a matching wireless card. So far so good.

                              WRT54G series then update the firmware with www.dd-wrt.com look for the WRT54GL its built for 3rd party firmware.

                                          What advantages do you gain by updating firmware?

                                              The firmware Linksys provides for their routers is shit. A lot of the features work poorly. Using 3rd party firmware makes it much better. You can tweak out you router more i n depth. Increase your wifi signal. Monitor your monthly bandwidth (useful if you're a Comcast user) and much more. Check out www.dd-wrt.com for more info and screen shots.

                                                  I'm not sure if it comes with the 3rd party firmware but I know it's specifically built for 3rd party firmware. I have the WRT54G Version 2 so switching to DD-WRT was simple other newer versions tend to be more difficult but not impossible.
