Can someone recommend a Router?

I currently own an ACCTON AC-IG1004 and it is very user unfriendly, easy to
get running but extremely difficult to configure because of poor
documentation and very poor online help and very very poor phone support.
I'm not very good with anything to do with computers and was wundering
weather someone could recommend a unit that is easy to configure.....ie to
use with games, icq and msn!

PLEEZE

Linksys BFsr41 or some model like that,. best in the business for home
use.

What makes you think Linksys is any better than, e.g., Netgear (which,
if nothing else, seems sturdier) ?

After being targeted with gigabytes of trash by the "SWEN" worm, I have
concluded we must conceal our e-mail address. Our true address is the
mirror image of what you see before the "@" symbol. It's a shame such
steps are necessary. ...Charlie

I know people with netgears and they say they suck. I know people
with this Linksys and they all love it. It works right for everyone I
know.

gone with Linksys.....seems to be very popular, just hope its easy to work
out the ports to be opened otherwise i'll be a regular here

in the setup of the router, there's a section called FORWADING, that's
where you put all the ports.

Very simple.

rtfm and it's a piece o' cake to configure in-bound routing.

otoh, out-bound functions are not its forte, to say the least...

I have Linksys and have been fairly happy with it. Biggest issue is limited
range. Had to work hard at changes to get it to connect to my daughter's
laptop in an upstairs bedroom.

It appears to me that D-Link is a bit ahead of the game with 22 MBps 802.11b
as well as other things like having a wireless repeater.
