Whatever you buy, make sure it will run DD-WRT (or Tomato).

This weekend, I spent about 4 hours working at a client's site (side
job) trying to get their desktop to link up to their existing wireless
router (Netgear.) I never succeeded and I was also unable to get my Dell
laptop to talk to their wireless router. After fussing with it for over
2 hours, I went to Walmart and bought a WRT54GS2 Linksys wireless (same
exact model I have at home) and hooked it up. Instant success. 

Long story short - if I ever have a job where I can't get the wireless
to connect, and the user has a Netgear wireless router, I'm not even
going to spend time on it, I'll just tell the client I'm going to go buy
a different router that *will* work and get another Linksys.

Just thought I'd pass this along for anyone who's looking for a new
wireless router. :-)
