ASUS Wless 90-ID8002M00-01PZ 802.11g 125mbit 125M

$39.00 Est. at Amazon

from Matt, www.newegg.com
got this router for 1/3 the price of a one port bridge, flashed it to the dd-wrt firmware and now i have a 5 port bridge!!!
from Syzygy, www.newegg.com
i'm certain i'll give it another go in the future, but for now, the default asus firmware is working fine for me.
from Hybrid83, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: you will have to down grad the the firmware before you can flash it with dd-wrt.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
would be nice if the manufacturer made it easier to use an alternative firmware.
from Ant, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: you have to download 2.0.0.8 firmware and rename it to 2.0.1.1 and then update to it using the web-based firmware upgrade section.

NetGear WNR2000 Wireless

$68.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.bestbuy.com
i especially liked that the install process for this router, unlike the linksys, included automatically looking for updates to the firmware and installing the update.
from www.amazon.com
*each time the router is turned on, it automatically checks for firmware updates.
from www.amazon.com
it's main drawback is that the firmware doesn't have some features i want, such as the ability to set stable ip addresses to my pcs, and it can't be flashed to tomato or dd-wrt.
from brewski, www.newegg.com
has worked great ever since cons: because the wireless n standards not set in stone at this time i can not get the higher speeds (300mbps) on my sony laptop until a firmware is released for
from Big Mike, www.newegg.com
hopefully a firmware update will fix it soon.

we did not have to upgrade the firmware.

according to linksys, the newest version of the wrt54g3g-vn's firmware only supports three verizon wireless evdo pc cards: audiovox pc5750, novatel v720 and sierra wireless aircard 595.
from www.amazon.com
the unit works awesome if you have an approved card and update firmware.

from www.amazon.com
the stock firmware is competent, but lacks a few niceties that you get with the various replacement firmware options.

maybe future firmware updates might be the catalyst to kick in the afterburners..
from Pat_R, www.newegg.com

Actiontec Electronics GT724WGR Retail DSL

$101.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.bestbuy.com
it has wizards built into its firm ware that makes setting it up easy.
from www.amazon.com
- the 704 lacked settings due to the verizon issued firmware on it.
from www.amazon.com
if the internet lags heavily when you access it try upgrading the firmware, which you'll find info on under "utilities" when you access actiontec in your browser.
from www.amazon.com
as you can see, i found it's firmware (which was the latest version) way too buggy for me to consider giving it any higher than 1 star.
