Fast DSL/Cable Router/Switch
-
Hello, Currently, I have a Linksys DSL/Cable Router (BEFSR41). I've been using it for about four years now. Overall, it works good, but I think the bandwidth throughput is slow and the firmware is buggy. Connecting to FTP is tricky and there are problems with passive mode, etc. http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=34&scid=29&prid=561 About six months ago the power supply started making howling noise. So I think its days are just about over. Plus the firmware is buggy. I cannot connect to FTP servers when using certain firmware builds. I'd like to get a new DSL/Cable Router with at least 4x100mb network switch support. What is the best DSL/Cable router right now? Here are some models I am considering right now. Netgear Model RP614 4-Port Cable/DSL Router with 10/100 Mbps Switch http://www.netgear.com/products/prod\_details.php?prodID=131&view= Model FR114P 4 Port Cable/DSL ProSafe Firewall/Print Server http://www.netgear.com/products/prod\_details.php?prodID=140&view= Linksys BEFSX41 Instant Broadband EtherFast®Cable/DSL Firewall Router with 4-Port Switch/VPN End http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=34&scid=29&prid=433 They're all about the same price. Really I want to stay away from Linksys, but 3COM backs them. I have not had a Netgear router. It is any good? What is the best DSL/Cable router right now in terms of speed (bandwidth throughput) and security? Thanks, Kuphryn

We have several Linksys DSL Routers as well as Access points in the building and have had no problems at all... You might want to look into this one from Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster[^] I just noticed that Linksys announced a Wireless G Range Expander[^] coming soon...does not need to be connected to anything (except for power) Steve
