Recommendations for a good Wireless G router

[MasterG]

I just bought the Dlink DI-624m. First thing I did was upgrade to firmware v. 1.20. Low and behold, v1.20 makes the router an instant paper weight. I'm returning this to Costco tommorrow. Can anyone make any recommendations on a good wireless G router?

Thanks in advance.

Really Good? Buffalo Tech.

Like hacking? Linksys WRT54.

You can't go wrong with Linksys...I am planning to replace my trusty Linksys wireless-B with G in few weeks.

Linksys WRT54G (GS) have been great. They have newer models but I'm not sure how well they work compared to the WRT models.

yes I saw there are newer models that comes with "ez touch" or something like that..are they same as old wrt54g?

Rottie, the WRT54Gv3 and WRT54GS v2.1(?) just add a button, which causes the software to do some stuff to automagically generate and share a WPA-PSK. It's designed for those users who are too novice to configure WPA-PSK correctly on their own. (Which should be easy, except, well, if you're using WIndows...). Otherwise they're the same unit.

The WRT54GX has a different radio, I believe it's not supported by the hacked firmware yet.

The WRT54GC is a totally different platform, not compatible with the hacked firmware.

Sam's Club has great pricing on the WRT54G & GS, btw.

The latest Linksys, D-Link, and Netgear broadbang wireless G routers all proved to be lacking in features compared to the Zyxel 334WT I end up buying. Features that I needed like mapping MAC to IP and logging and other stuff.
