Dependable wireless router?

| Kid is going away to college and he needs a wireless router for his | school work. Could some one recommend a most reliable -11b/g router | to fill his needs? Have not been keeping up with changes in router | world. I was thinking older WRT54G(S).

They're all unreliable. But probably among the least unreliable is the Linksys WRT54GL.

Maybe John will drop by and let you know which ones are rock solid and very reliable (e.g. never fail, always get a good signal, secure, etc).

Depends on your budget of course. What I've been using is a linux based WRT54G, Version 2 with Alchemy firmware loaded on it. Extremely stable firmware with very good QOS for the price. You can pick one up on eBay for about $40 or so. Most likely, you can do a little reading and update the firmware yourself.

Apple Airport Express. Highly recommended.

Hmmm, Looks like I am going to send away a WRT54GS(v. 4) with latest dd-wrt f/w. Hope it'll serve him OK. Thanks, Tony

Hi, Decided on an old stand-by. WRT54GS(v.4) with latest dd-wrt f/w and JTAG cable in case. Hope it'll do it. Thanks, Tony
