    I have a Belkin pre-n and like it - hopefully it will be compatible with Apple 802.11n when it rolls out (via firmware upgrade?). Anyway, even as a normal wireless router it seems to work better than all my netcraft, linksys or other routers that I have had.

    So far all the wireless routers I have had worked good, airport, airport extreme, linksys and netgear. The airports stand up better after power fails and seldom have to be reset. The linksys and netgear have 4 ethernet ports (which I wish the airports had). If I had to pick just one I would go with the linksys because of the ports and its signal stays stronger than the netgear.

    Linksys WRT54G

    I have one at home and three at work. All are rock solid and easy to setup/secure.

    Since it runs Linux, there are lots of enhancements via third-party software too.

    I use a Belkin DG834G wireless router with a double firewall..





    It takes 802.11g which is faster than 802.11b

    Linksys didn't support static DNS, so in network with laptop it didn't work for me, so I bought dlink instead. Dlink used to have firmware problems as well, but with the newest firmware it has been solid.
