States that they will be keeping and supporting the Linksys brand.

Good. Perhaps Belkin can fix the 0-day exploit in Cisco's firmware.

I hope they keep the Broadcom based routers (new 802.11AC, etc) going so we can get nice Tomato ports on all of them! :biggrin:

Belkin? Hm... isn't it the brand that sells CAT6 cables the cost $3 at Monoprice for $30 at staples.

Also the brand that sells $19 and $29 routers that have gigabit ports (and simultaneous dual band for the $29 version) that runs both Tomato and DD-WRT. Hell, that's cheaper than the cable that Staples sells.

Monoprice is the greatest company ever. It makes me soooo mad anytime I have to buy anything from RadioShack.

I'm really curious as to specifically which small business products will be leaving.

Wait.... What? Did I miss something? You mean Belkin? Hmmm.... May have to check out some of these. Which would you say is the best hackable router with the most features they currently sell?

I was looking at Monoprices upcoming HDStream Gigabit Dual Band Wireless N Router - 600 Mbps - w/ USB Server....

Quality will probably increase.

I don't remember the exact models right off hand. They are on and off on SlickDeals every few months. I have bought a single band ($19.99) with Gigabit ports, USB, etc. and a dual band ($29.99) with gigabit, USB, etc. Flashed both with Tomato and all is well.

The only complaint is the lack of port lights on the unit...only one LED for the entire unit and it's green/orange depending on condition. Still can't beat the price.

Yep.

In fact, they should just make some Broadcom routers. That would make things really, really simple -- their stock firmware could be crap and no one would care.

I know they have routers, but none of these are Broadcom-based for Tomato support.
