I use a NetGear MR314 at home (802.11b + 4 ports). No problems
configuring it from my Linux systems and it seems to have all the standard
features, AFAIK.

Wrong. Maybe it works on IE but not Mozilla & friends. Or maybe it
doesn't even work with IE, who knows. Bottom line is that not all the
configuration pages work right. I can't even turn on the WEP auth or
edit the MAC filter table. The date and time reset with every power
interruption. I'd tell you the brand name but there isn't one :)
So... does anyone have a recommendation for a router that they've been
having good luck with (with Linux)? I need a four-port LAN. Don't need
802.11g (just b) and don't actually have a WAN connection right now,
it's just an internal network. Might get broadband later. Long story.
Regarding the security ... assuming that anyone can access this router,
is this really any worse than having a box on a static IP on the
internet? I do everything with ssh and have the appropriate access
controls, "I think".
thanks as always...
