Best Wireless router for N810
 
Ok, I've searched
Problem routers (sometimes) Dlink and Netgear. Some problems were mentioned with N class routers.

Now with Draft-N, Dual band Draft-N, Extreme-N, Superman-N, Gaming-N what are people finding for new equipment that WORKS WELL?

Complaints are also solicited, but I'd rather see 3 posts that say someone gets 100% with no complaints with X setup than 100 posts complaining they can't get Y to work.

I'm using an Orinoco AP700 in B/G mode, works great. Auth is WPAPSK, sees my TwonkyServer just fine although scanning the rather large music collection takes several minutes. Streamed MP3s play flawlessly using the stock music player.

Linksys wrt54gs works. Haven't has a lick of trouble with any of the Cisco access points at work.

I'm using a Linksys WRT 54G flashed to the Linux firmware and had no problems at all.

I have three WRT54Gs and two Buffalo WHR-G125, all running the latest DD-WRT release. Personally, I'd lean towards the Buffalo these days (price is right, and they're a little more overclockable than the WRT54GLs).

If you get either of them, make sure you load DD-WRT or something similar, as the stock firmwares on both of them pretty much suck. Just make sure to get the WRT54GL if you go with Linksys.

My netgear RangeMax (draft N) works flawlessly. Very fast, too.

However, I'm keeping an eye on Buffalo. They have a router that supports FON, which I'm interested in. www.fon.com

EDIT: I had periodic issues with my previous compact Linksys, but it just involved a reboot every time. More annoying than anything. I now use it as a travel/emergency router.

I was thinking of getting a WRT54GS for travel, for hotels that only have wired connections. Have you used it for that? Can it be used on different networks without being reconfigured? I assume it can't be configured from the N810 (?)

(BTW my Netgear WGR614 works swell with the N810.)
