Although I don't use the Linksys WRT54G in my own setup, I have 4 or 5 of them in various AARP Tax-Aide locations. So far they have been reliable. I stay away from the V7 models because they cannot all be loaded with DD-WRT. I have picked up a couple of spares off of eBay for $20 - 35, which I think is pretty reasonable. -- Chuck McKinnis Sandia Park, NM http://www.7cities.net/~mckinnis/ Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. 1 Thessalonians 5:14
