I had asked a question earlier about routers and someone answered to stay way from them.

As they are the most common, and (like any brand of router) come with a pre-set ip address, range and security password. As most people never bother (or can' figure out how) to change those, it makes them a little easier to hack into them some of the other brands. (It like why Windows gets all the viruses, not Mac or Linux - it is the most common so you attack it first). If you change your default router information, Linksys is an excellent brand.

Well the new linksys routers kind of suck because they sliced the ram and Firmware ram in half. They did this because the 3rd party firmware for is was much better...and you can't put the other firmware on it with half as much ram. I have a wrt54gl which still has the original amount of RAM. I am running the DD-WRT firmware and it rocks. Currently handling 6 wireless laptops, 3 wireless desktops, and 4 other wired desktops. So it can handle some loads. I am a college student at a Computer Science School...I am in an appartment with 6 other students...hence so many computers.

No idea. I have had one for over 3 years and no problems.
