Recommendations for Good <$100 Cable Router

[silentkevin]

I am looking for a good Cable/DSL router with several features:

1. Reliability (It will be at my parent's house, and I am tired of driving over there every week to reboot their current internet sharing solution)
2. Ability to port-forward well (I need to run a DNS, HTTP, FTP, and SSH server on machines behind the firewall).

I am not too concerned about speed or ease-of-use, but the two things I mentioned above are critical.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks,

Kevin

This one should do everything you need and has a 8 port 10/100 switch built in!

It has a pretty nice browser based menu system and gives you the ability to forward ports & port ranges if needed.

If your service provider will let you run your cable-modem in non-bridged mode, I highly recommend a Cisco uBR924 - can be had on fleabay for under $75 - and is good experience because it has a real cisco ios on it AND a pair of FXS ports (not that you wanted them, but compare the price to an ATA186, et al)...

my $0.02.. 🙂
