Hey which broadband routers do you all think are the top rated or better ones to get? Are some more secure than others. A couple of years ago i used a wireless Linksys wrt54gs i set up the security like the instructions said and after a couple of day i went to look at homedepot web page and saw i was logged into someones else's account. I disabled the wireless and just use it wired. Which one do you all use

I use this one Link
Works perfectly, never had a single issue with it and it is highly customizable.
Designed with Linux in mind.

Just make sure you have WPA turned on and MAC address filtering to only accept your laptop/PC and you should do well.

D-link user here, owned about 5 of them, currently using Rangebooster model.

Most likely will buy D-link when N standard is finalized.

went to a client's house who'd had a Linksys nib for over a yr before finally deciding to setup his wireless network..brand new doa ..grabbed the above linked Buffalo HP ..didn't even need the cds it came with on an xp64 install...whilst I was fumbling with the cds and dling some xp64/virus/other updates he was yelling outside at 1am with his laptop about " I'm on the internet and outside ! " :) ..hadn't even been powered up for more than 3 minutes... unlike the trials/tribulations of determining the Linksys being dead(hr and a half of troubleshooting :() ..
