The Hunt of the Red Router

ELPIRATA

Ok Ok, just making fun.... but seriously, Im in the hunt of a router to connect to a cable modem. Being that in the past we've had troubles with Linksys... Im wondering and pondering which would be a better recommendation.

Id like to get a Router for $50ish... I hear Netgear is da bomb, or was, not sure, but Im open to suggestions. I dont have the cable service yet, but we're evaluating seriously moving to.

Get one that works with the following:
Hack Attack: Turn your $60 router into a $600 router

ELPIRATA

Funny I already have that router

netburnr

Then get to hacking.

Personally I'm using an Airport Extreme BaseStation and I love it.

dlink?

Hm, I also have a WRT54G. It used to really piss me off that I couldn't connect to Jumpgate with 2 computers. Wish I had known you could hack it back when I cared about such things.

I'm betting that Jumpgate Evolution will have better/different netcode, but if not, I'll certainly give that Linux firmware update a try. Thanks!

I swear by Netgear.

I get old compaq deskpro's from a local liquidation place for $35. Toss in a second NIC and load IPCop. The flexibility that gives is second only to enterprise solutions. I have had no problem running with DSL, Verion's FiOS and now TWC Cable.

Here ya go bud a nice linux based router

Amazon.com: Linksys-Cisco WRT54GL Wireless-G...

These have all the flash and memory of the old 54G and they are hackable to do many things. only $59 and if you get the rebate $10 less than that. If you buy some other lynksis device and get it up to $100 you get another $20 back instantly. I just did this and it's pretty cool deal. Don't forget to check the free shipping.

Thats the very reason I switched to netgear, I am looking for a new one too now that I upgraded my wifes computer (3dfx erra LOL)and all have gigabit ethernet except the router.
