Suggested Wireless Router for Home Use

I own a Netgear Wireless Router WGT624v2. I believe its quality leaves
much to be desired. Can anyone help with the recommendation of a
*quality* wireless product?

If you will get WRT54G, avoid version 5. I heard there's a lot of
problem in this version. Get version 4 or if you can find 3 or 2 much
the better.

Not sure how high your definition of "quality" is, but if really want to
spend the money, then the answer is easy: Cisco.

Netgear, Linksys, DLink, Belkin, ect are all really the "same junk in a
box", but each with their own proprietary stuff (interface, "turbo rates",
ect).

Still, I mainly use DLink (DWL-7100 AP's, using seperate router boxes) and
have been happy. I also picked up a Linksys WRT54GS not to long ago, mainly
just to play with. I found it's performace to be parallel to the DLinks,
except of course can't use the "turbo" as all my client hardware is mainly
DLink. One of the great things about this router/AP is that (< V4.0) runs
on a Linux-based environment and there are many flashable "modwares" for it.

Cheers,

What's the problem with the unit? I'm using Netgear WGR614 v5 routers and
they have been rock solid. Before that I had various Linksys routers and
access points that were totally flakey.

define quality and how much are you willing to spend for it?

How do I identify the version number on the box?

If the serial number starts with CDFB (or later) it's a V5. You
probably can't find anything earlier, though, unless you get a
WRT54GL, which is a V4...

I have purchased four V4 routers at Office Max. I found them on the
upper shelf.

Hi,
Maybe you could get an older version from eBay. I had v. 3 and upgrade
to SRX 400 just to extend range(to cover 3 storey house)
