Hey guys, I am trying to figure out which router I want to pickup here in the next couple days.
The requirements are basically just 802.11 B and G. My roommates don't know crap about computers and most people want to be able to use the direct connect feature in AIM to share pictures with thier friends. I was curious if an SPI based router would solve this issue, since none of us have ever been able to swap pics with both parties being behind NAT based routers.
SO, unless you advise me to get a SPI based router, I have been looking at the Linksys WRT54G. I really think those things are damn ugly, but it seems to fit the bill. Is there anything out there relatively in the same price range that would be equal or better?
