looking for wireless b/g network router

[Dan Gennidakis]

I agree. Given the number of alternative custom firmware projects out there use an open source version. I use HyperWRT personally on my Linksys router and it works great now. I had numerous issues with the factory linksys firmware and their latest revisions. Lots of MTU and DHCP issues and WPA etc. HyperWRT is working like a charm for me now. It's a good thing Linksys chose to use Linux for it's firmware that way we don't have to rely on them for support!

Flash it with alternative firmware, e.g. one of:

o Sveasoft
http://www.sveasoft.com

o OpenWRT
http://www.openwrt.org

and deal with the open source community for support. I use OpenWRT because
of its flexibility but you need a good working knowledge. I haven't used
Sveasoft but I've heard excellent reviews. I expect it's more user
friendly.
