Wireless Router Suggestions?

in Random Bytes

I need some advice on WiFi routers.

I want to upgrade from B to G and I’d like to use it in conjunction with the D-Link DSM320 (don’t have one yet, but would like one…) Any suggestions?

I’ve checked out reviews.cnet.com, but I’m not finding their recommendations to be all that helpful. The user reviews are probably the most revealing, but pretty inconsistent. If you have any pet hardware or warnings, please let me know in the comments!

Now playing: "Song X" from the album "Mirror Ball" by Neil Young.

    I'd heartily recommend the Linksys WRT54GS. I'm running it with Sveasoft firmware, and it's incredibly reliable and powerful. Haven't yet played with the PPTP VPN server that's built in, but I'm told it works nicely.
    I went for the GS rather than the G, because the GS has twice the RAM and twice the Flash. This only matters if you one day intend to hack it.

    Seconded on the Linksys, though we have the G.
    Rock-solid, working with XP, Linux and OSX for well over a year.
