Peter,

I purchased a Linksys e2000 from Walmart over a year ago for about 65 bucks and installed dd-wrt on it. It's the best router I've ever had. I only use the wifi for my android phone and tablet, but the gigabit ports rock. It has N capability which I have used on a my laptop a couple of times, just to try, but I'm usually hard wired anyway. It's a great great device. I would like to buy a couple more just to keep around incase it ever fails. It has been running non-stop for almost two years. I love it.

Buffalo has a couple that come with dd-wrt pre-installed that I have heard great things about, but never used myself. I wouldn't own a router I couldn't install dd-wrt on.

Hi All,

My aging wireless router is starting to act up and it seems that I'll need a new one in short order.
My current router is a Linksys wireless G (before they became Cisco) with four 10/100Mb ports.

I'm looking for something similar in a wireless N variety with 4 gigabit Ethernet ports.
Note: I'm only interested in a router, not a modem/router combo unit.

I've actually been very happy with my Linksys. Is Linksys/Cisco still a good brand?
Does anyone have any recommendations or experiences they can share on brands and models?

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks,
Peter
