Router suggestions

[ScottAD]

Currently I have Charter as an ISP. I have the 10MB plan and am using their Netgear router but want to send that back since $15 a month for it's rediculous. What I plan on using the router for is mostly wireless access. One comeputer will be hooked up via ethernet cable. There are usually 4 computers online, an iPod touch, and I'm planning on going with a new server for streaming media to all the TV's.

What suggestions do you have for me?

Install Tomato or DD-WRT on it though once you get it. The stock firmware is reported to be pretty sh1tty.

The above statement might be correct for other Routers, but as far as the Asus and the Buffalo Routers go the stock firmwares are good too.

DD-WRT and Tomato have more features, but nothing is wrong wuth the stock firmware.

Yep, and often the stock firmware on some hardware is braindead easy to use, so in some ways the stock firmware can be better for some people. YMMV.
