Great working, easy to use router for $100 or less

[futurefields]

In my house we are having some problems with internet connectivity I am thinking due to the current router, which is a Netgear not sure which exact model its my roommates. I am thinking of buying a router and seeing if that will work, and am wondering if there is something that is well known, reliable, stable, and fairly easy to setup in the $100 range or less?

Thanks!

Before wasting money on a new router, look up the model of your old router and see if it supports DD-WRT. Many routers ship with atrociously bad firmware, and installing DD-WRT will fix all those issues immediately.

Great working or easy to use or cheap ... please pick one.

You can probably find an older Cisco on ebay for fairly cheap, it wont be the latest and greatest but it will probably still be better than the "latest and greatest" consumer router.

Of course you can always build a pfsense box too, that would not be cheap but it would be easier to use. I recently upgraded to pfsense 2.0 and reconfigured my network to use vlans and it's pretty slick.

Have you checked with the ISP? Are you sure there is not an issue with the actual Internet connection, rather than the router?

Dual band, have Giga switch, and can be Flashed with DD-WRT if more options are needed.
