Cisco has done so much for the Linksys brand.
NOT! They're burying it. All the new units have the cisco logo and suck. That 35 dollar Linksys router, it couldn't even do WPA whatsoever with the 1.0 software it was released with. How in the heck can a company as big as that miss something as basic as supporting WPA? Like no one thought to test it....? But it's sold at Wal-Mart. That's what happens.

I have been running it on my Linksys WRT54GL for 3 or 4 years. It supports DDNS, VLANS, VLAN tagging, Bridging, Wireless( setting all parameters), MAC radius Client, Wireless Security(WEP, ALL WPA, Radius) MAC filters, WDS, ... hell much more than I care to comment on. Load it on a cheap router(http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices) and see what you think. For Free, it gives 'TIK a hell of a run for the money.
