Best wireless router for home

[dennishoddy]

My wireless router died. What is the latest, greatest out there now?

I'm running a whole swarm of Linksys WRT-54 routers. . .using DD-WRT firmware.

This is one I have been looking at a little. It looks pretty good, but I don't really know.

Thats the one I just bought at Staples. Paid a little more than amazon though.

I, too am using a WRT54G with DDWRT. However, for most people, when you buy a router for home, make sure it says LINKSYS on the front.

How is it working for you?

Have had 3 Linksys routers. They last about 1.5-2 years then they're junk. Bought a Comtrend router and have had it for 4 years. I'll never buy another Linksys. YMMV.

Its probably more than I needed, as my connection is fairly slow from my provider, and I'm not a gamer, but I tend to buy more than I need, other than try to save a buck.

My old one was a Linksys. Three years.

If you have problems or you're tired of rebooting DD-WRT frequently, try Tomato. It actually works.
