Build a m0n0wall, get a NAS, and a dedicated access point. It requires a little more upfront investment but is a hell of a lot better than the profoundly crappy hardware used by Linksys, Netgear, and the others, and will be rock solid reliable. :-:

Question for the IT geeks in The Box...

I'm looking to upgrading my wireless router. I need something with 802.11n (either dual or single band is fine), Gigabit Ethernet, a USB port (with external HD support) and high wireless throughput. Support for dd-wrt is also a big plus. So far, I'm considering the Linksys WRT610N and the Netgear WNDR3700. Thoughts on either of these models or suggestions for something else?

My reliability issues have been with my cablemodem and/or Comcast itself.

I still have a separate NAS that I use for all of my storage, but figured it never hurts to have another device on the router. I know Linksys, Netgear, D-Link, etc hardware is on the crappy side, but the space (and power) savings are worth it to me.



Sadly, the wireless throughput on the Airport Extreme is kind of poor and the advanced features are very limited.

Down with Jay! I hope that his numbers don't recover when it's all said and done, more egg on the face of NBC.

What's that going to run you? I had a WRT54G for a couple of years and upgraded to a Buffalo high-power router compatible with dd-wrt and I've been happy. My reliability issues have been with my cablemodem and/or Comcast itself.

As a whole I believe Linksys gets better reviews than Netgear. I really wouldn't know the difference. My old hardwire stuff was Linksys and my current wireless stuff is Netgear but that was for cost reasons. No complaints with the Netgear. I just wish I could shut of the wireless part while keeping the hardwire connection live which I suspect is an issue with all wireless routers.

I personally have a netgear AP at my TX home, it connects to mini fanless ATOM server that handles my other needs, works perfect, and the price was right, bout $60 for the ATOM parts.

Do you think the split will end up with listing on the S&P?

Thanks...that helps my prewriting process somewhat. The part I don't like is that it asks for nothing biographical...I think the story leading up to why I want to teach is interesting and it may also offset some mediocre grades. Doesn't seem like such an approach is within the rules.

Do you recall the model of your Netgear AP? What kind of throughput are you able to get on wireless clients?
