I currently have a D-Link 704P wired router that has worked flawlessly for over 2 years. I have never had an attack get though or had to reboot it. Back when wireless routers and access points were about the same price I added a D-Link 900AP+ wireless access point. The 900AP has also been very good to me. I have had to reboot it less than 5 times in the last 2 years. My network consists of 2 wired desktops and 1 laptop.
So... I am starting to do some Linux development work and want to be able to run X Windows across the network to my laptop. The 802.11b data rate is just not quite enough to run X smoothly so I want to upgrade to g (preferrably 108 Mbps).
My dilemma: I have heard so many horror stories about wireless routers needing to be constantly rebooted that I do not want to give up my trusty 704P router. The problem is that only D-Link has a 108 Mbps access point and it is significantly more expensive than the routers ($40 for a router, $80 for an AP). Should I just spend the extra $$ and get an access point? If so, is there any one out there who has experience with the D-Link 2100AP?
