Looking for the best wireless Linksys Router for my new FIOS connection.

Been there, done that, ended up with the FIOS DI-624 router that Verizon gave me in the first place. Every other SOHO router I tried had problems with sustained traffic and/or BitTorrent traffic.

See the previous thread about Azereous crashing routers, it may be possible to tune your client to avoid the problem.

Do you know what model and version you were using? Looking at the Linksys site, the bittorrent issue was solved with the Firmware 1.00.6 update (this is for WRT54G ver5)

You might want to steer clear of the v5 as it doen't run Linux-based f/w and as such, can not be upgraded with 3rd party f/w that adds more features (e.g. WDS).

Yeah I saw that on another site. So far it looks like the Best of the Best was WRT54GS v3 It came with a whopping 16meg rom and 32meg ram verses v5 2/8 I don't know it I would update it with non standard firmware but there is something that like about having the ability to do it even if I choose not to.

Thanks

Yeah, it was long before V5 came out. They seem to still be actively {supporting,bug-fixing} the V5 routers, but AFAICT they've stopped adding {features,bug-fixes} to the older hardware revisions.

And I tried about a half-dozen brands, including wired and wireless routers, and they all fell over after less than 24 hours. Google news probably has it somewhere...
