    I just retired My Zyxel P-330 router. Worked great without the need for rebooting for over a year. Uped the firmware and then started having problems, reverted back to original, but still need to restart frequently. Just replaced it with a linksys WRT600N. I don't know about running other firmwares but DD-WRT doesn't list Zyxel as supported.

    dd-wrt is da bong. Wonder if you could rip the weirdo antenna off this router and hook it up to a Linksys (and would it perform any better??)

    is this a pencil pump???

    I got a PCI card draft N from Linksys that came with a crazy looking antenna. The card was utter TRASH though. I tried three different Linksys N products and they were ALL TERRIBLE (clients, one PCI, two USB).

    I hope that thing purifies your air ionically as well. Looks like an ionic air purifier is attached.

    Seriously, normal little antennas can do the trick.
