Need Opinions On A Wireless Router

Post by jealous57 »

Can someone point me in the right direction as to which wireless router is the best? I am currently looking at 2 (Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router and D-Link DI-624 2.4 GHz AirPlus Xtreme G 108 Mbps Wireless Router) . Any help greatly appreciated.

Oops, I forgot to mention, I also need opinions on the PCI cards that go with these. ( Linksys WMP54G Wireless-G PCI Adapter and D-Link DWL-G520 AirPlus Xtreme G Wireless PCI Adapter 108Mbps, I guess). Also is the Linksys WRT54GS really worth the extra $30?

i'm fond of netgear stuff myself. many of their wireless routers have SPI firewalls. although i hate to say this because i hate linksys, but their new routers have actually gotten a lot better than before. the OSes are more customizable than ever. a couple of their routers can be hacked up pretty good as they run linux.

SMC or the NEW linksys with the open source firmware

thats the best of consumer class hardware
if u dont want that and want something better
u can go with strixsystems unit or maybe a lucent or even a smaller cisco
this is non consumer equipment and is much better than the crap they sell at computer stores
