I was wondering if there is, or if we can start, a master (SOHO)
router list identifying features and problems. Here is what I have in
mind:
I recently bought three Netgear wireless routers (one for myself and
one each for my parents and my wife's parents). As it turns out, the
wired part works great with VNC, but not any computers connected
wirelessly. I've seen several posts regarding this problem on this
list. It seems, however, that Linksys routers do work fine with VNC
over wireless.
On the other hand, Netgear has a nice feature that in DHCP mode you
can reserve addresses based on MAC. Some D-Links and Linksys routers
don't seem to have this feature, which may be useful to many.
I think most Linksys don't have the 'Static' DHCP addressing ability.
But THe WRT54G and WRT54GS models have alternate 3rd party firmware
available that add this and many other features that Linksys hid or left
out entirely. Some of these firmware packages are starting to be ported
to other brands and models now too.
More info can be found on http://linksysinfo.org/
If you have had problems with VNC on a linksys router then chances are
these firmware updates will fix that too. If not report it to the author
and it'll probably be fixed in the next release.

So, what's the best way to list router models and pros and cons for each.
Thanks!
