Got one for years now. Still solid like a rock.
I would definitely recommend this model if you don't need 802.11n.
Just keeps on ticking....
This is a good router, but the newer versions don't support third party firmwares as well (at all?) as the previous versions. I have a v4 running the tomato firmware, and I have had it for a couple years now.
died on me after a year of on-and-off working! I would not recommend this.
I've used these, with the standard firmware, solid, simple, good for home or small office.
#4, the tomato firmware is awesome! i've been running mine for about a year now and i love it!
there are very few people who need 802.11n at home!
Have one with hyperwrt...been running for over 3 years without any hitch!
And I guess from the above comments the current standard firmware is good!?
If you don't move files between computers, you don't have a NAS or networked printer, you don't stream media to your game console or TV, and you just use your network for accessing the internet, then #7 is right, 802.11g has all the speed you will need. Even FIOS is slower than 802.11g.
Can you use this as an access point only? I have a (crappy) Actiontek router from Verizon but the WiFi on it blows.
Have one of these since 2003 and it's still working
Why get an "G" for $33 when you can get an Airlink "N" for $20 from Fry's?
Mine's worked great for the past 2.5 years, which is more than I can say for my previous wireless router (I don't remember the brand) that died after 3 months.
Get the GL version, not the G. They have cheapened the components of the G. The GL version is equivalent to the WRT54Gs of the past.
I was thinking the same and would rather get a mimo router that supports the N protocol. Typically, mimo and N protocol have better range and bandwidth.
not worth $33 because of n these days. but back in wireless g times it was one of the best. especially after flashed with dd-wrt or tomato.
Buy it.
DDWRT - is all that needs to be said.
This thing is a monster!
does this one have removable antennae?
I've had mine with DD-WRT for years. I only need to power cycle it less than once a month. Everyone else I know with other routers need to power cycle theirs a couple times a week.
(Granted mine is the much older version with more memory equivalent to today's "GL" version)
