    The only brand I would recomend is 3Com...Linksys, Cisco, and USR all seem to mess up with sustained useage.

    The WRT54G2 is an ok router, i have one, along with various other Linksys models (see my signature). But it doesn't have external aerials so bear that in mind if the signal has a long way to go or thru a lot of walls etc.

    Again, not true for the majority of Linksys products ~ http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/806233/4875288
