We will all be dead and buried before there is an approved 802.11n standard.

But in the meantime, it's a good deal for an 802.11g router that should hold up for some time. I bought this a few months ago to replace an ailing Linksys G router, and have been really happy with it. Easy to set up, and it has a stand so it can sit vertically too, and take up less room on your desktop.

I have the D-Link 625, just took the plunge from the old reliable Linksys WRT54. $59 Newegg. So far so good.

My only caveat is that if I was buying another I'd get one that has a gigabit port, but that's dependent on your needs, but I just ran some CAT 6 through my walls and as my next pc will have a gigabit capability I'd be curious to see the difference.

Note on Newegg this one is 3 eggs out of 82 reviews, that's not very good, the 625 is 4 eggs out of 93 reviews.

Since your internet runs at 6Mbps or lower, it's unlikely you'll see any performance upgrades from gigabit NICs, routers, and CAT6. You might have *slightly* less corrupted data which is why I use those things.

Man I just picked the same router as #3 and so far so good. The laptops so far has no disconnects and the Xbox Live plays well with no hiccups unlike my previous Linksys WRT-54Gx2 <~~piece of crap.

I've had 2 D-Link routers. Both worked great. The 1st one did crap out after about 3 years, but that's not unreasonable for computer electronics nowadays. Both were better priced than their competitors. And the Air-G or whatever that crap brand Fry's sells and the Linksys I bought were both returned within a week because they sucked. I'll stick with D-Link.

Have had this one for about a year...works great. Shame the price really hasn't come down on it much tho.

Yeah #4 I'd say your right, for another $20 I'd have been curious, but yeah my internet does cap out at about 6Mbps. But the wired set-up does maintain a more stable connection and speed. I was doing other work (laying a new floor) and thought this'd be a good time to run cable.

@#4, gigabit is not necessarily for internet, but for intranet. If you stream HD content from a (personal) media server to a media extender, then gigabit can be important.
