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 jl, www.newegg.com
looking at the default asus firmware, it wasn't bad, but i didn't leave it on there long.
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.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
would be nice if the manufacturer made it easier to use an alternative firmware.

NETGEAR RANGEMAX Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit

from www.amazon.com
the first thing it does is to look for any firmware updates which means you have to wait for a little bit before being able to access the control panel.
from www.amazon.com
i have the most up to date firmware so it is not a out of date firmware problem.

Linksys WRT610N Wireless

$170.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.bestbuy.com
to do i have done before, but after reading all of the negative feedback on the product i decided to go the linksys.one thing i did do once the router was installed was to perform a firmware update.
from www.bestbuy.com
what's not so great:?the fact that it's trash until you update the firmware, then it works perfect!
from www.amazon.com
the down side is that you have to install the firmware because it does not come preinstalled with the router hardware when it is shipped to you.
from Dave, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: i can see this product being improved a lot by firmware work either through linksys getting their act together or by dd-wrt adding support in the near future.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
do one thing, when u get the product, install the normal driver and check for firmware update.

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 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 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 Big Mike, www.newegg.com
hopefully a firmware update will fix it soon.

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

- 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.
