Right now I'm using an old netgear wireless router that I got for free from a friend when he moved. It's a POS that just stops working from time to time. Download speed starts reducing until it feels like i'm on 56k again, then nothing but timeouts until i reset the router. I can't even access the router by it's ip when this happens. Some research shows that this particular router has overheating issues and (in some cases) needs to be reset multiple times in a day.
I'm looking for a new wireless router that has good quality and isn't gonna cost a lot of money. I was thinking of a linksys wrt54g because I've used it before with good results, so I look around in town first, and all I can find are the new Ex000 linksys models (no wrt54s), which are insanely expensive. Newegg has the wrt54gl model, which costs almost $20 more than the non open source counterpart, but $60 is still a lot cheaper than the $130 the the E2000 is priced at here.
I could really use some input from you guys. What are your experiences with routers and which would you suggest?
