I've used Netgear and found them quite satisfactory. I've used both their wired and wireless. (Note: on the netgear wireless routers you can turn off the radio and just use the wired portion, holding the wireless against the day when relatives with lap tops visit). I mention this because the price with wireless is seldom any more expensive than the price without wireless these days. I too have had to replace a couple linksys routers and always did so with netgear. Biggest complaint: not all models support active ftp (or what ever non-passive ftp is called) because they left that particular flavor of connection tracking out of their iptables setup. They do support passive ftp just fine. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
