Linksys. They are nice with DD-WRT flashed firmware.

I got my dad a d-link wireless N router and he likes it. Not sure if I would go with D-link again though. I'm a linksys guy, they're built well.

i'm sure that has more to do with your connection speed than the router's capabilities.

we have a dd-wrt WRT54G, and the thing is a piece of shit. It's the 3rd wrt-54g i've had, and it blows. they have all done the same thing - needing constant resets. we've even thrown the linux firmware on it and it still sucked.

the range rocks, but who gives a fuck when the piece of shit doesn't work.

Its not the speed, its the router failing to distribute packets... has to be reset like twice a day

but then again.. you should never have that many people on a cheapo
