need wireless router recommendation

Short of a Cisco router, what's a good wireless router for a home user? I
have a Netgear WGT624 but it is annoying that it drops the internet
connection after about a minute of being connected for administration. I've
had DHCP issues with it also. It's mostly an annoyance but it makes me
wonder about it's reliability......

So, I'm shopping. :-D

I'm using a Netgear FWG114P, rock solid!

I gather you don't like Cisco, but my Linksys WRT54FG works fine.

If I could afford a Cisco router and if I was running a business I'd
consider buying one.

Cisco owns LinkSys.

As noted, linksys is Cisco. After rebate the WRT54G v.2 cost abot $60.
There are higher and, I think, lower, priced models.

Yes, but that does not mean that buying a Linksys router gives you Cisco
quality. You get the same low end consumer grade router with Cisco's name on
it.

I have a netgear WGT634U.

I had a problem to start with. Wire connections worked, but no wireless
(radio).

They sent me a new one. A complete new one, in the box, with all of the
parts.

My next problem was with my laptop. This was my learning how to.

After I got that figured out, I have no problems. It works when I want
it to. I use the wireless for the laptop so I am not limited to the
"computer" room.

I use WPA security and when I am not using the laptop, I turn off the
radio. This is the highest form of security.

I have no known problems with drop out or loosing the connection while
in admin mode.

OT: I was in Virginia this last week. The hotel had wireless service.
I only found it in the lobby. It was slower than molasses in January.
My laptop said I had and excellent connection, but. My home service
from RR broadband has spoiled me.

I like Linksys, except for my BEFVP41, which doesn't work, and is
apparently unsupported.
