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

Linksys ...

Same here.

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.

I prefer Linksys for all my routers and switches

Its the the one with open source software (f.ex Tomatoe)? Its supposed to be really good

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.
