Need a new router

[Divider]

I recommend a Linksys WRT54G v3 with DD-WRT Got to love WPA2 Enterprise and Chillispot.

I'm switching roommates, and the router belongs to my current roommate so I'm going to have to get a new one. I'm looking at the Linksys WRT54Gl (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833124190). Look good? I'd like something pretty nice out of the box, but have the option to flash it to something better if I want to later on. Does this look good, or is there something else I should look at?

I'm running a WRT54GS not problems at all here. My last 3 routers have all been Linksys. My next router will be self built though, an old P3 Laptop and a switch should do it, as well as serve as a nice little home file server.

The WRT54GL is a very good router. Go for it.

The netgear wgr614 is a good option, too.

One of my routers is a Netgear WGR614v7: no major hassles in the time I've had it.

WRT54GL? You guys are so behind the times.

Nowadays, you want a WRT160NL.

I don't see a listing for that under hardware support on DD-WRT.com.

They show three revisions for the WRT160N, and only Version 1 is supported.

At this time I don't see much practical need for an N router, unless you have multiple local machines (every single one of them N, by the way) and you're transferring lots of files between them.

I actually will second the DIR-655

I have found it to be very good with many features.

I have a D-Link DIR-615 and it's a great router. Support for DD-WRT is also WIP which is cool.

If you're interested, D-Link recently released a new Firmware for the DIR-655. Version 1.31.

The only thing I don't like is the Capcha they added to log into the router.

Same here. Can't go wrong with Linksys.
