The Linksys WRT54GL Wireless Router has tools and power to network every device in your home with ease. In fact, it’s actually three devices in one. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect both screaming fast Wireless-G (802.11g at 54Mbps) and Wireless-B (802.11b at 11Mbps) devices to the network. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Connect four PCs directly, or attach more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection making the WRT54GL a simple solution for complete home and office networking.

Pros Signal strength good throughout my house, PC&Mac compatible, handles my work VPN fine
Cons Flaky! Connectivity goes up and down all the time.
Recommended it? No

Up again, down again, up again

Pros Looks very nice, understandable setup for basic wired connections
Cons Wireless connections more difficult, advanced settings may be too much for novices
Recommended it? Yes

My old Netgear wireless router, which had been running nonstop for about 6 years, finally died on me. It was a slow, painful death stretched out over several weeks, and in the end it needed to be replaced in a hurry. Doing some searching, I found the cheapest name-brand router locally was this...
