Re: best router

The linksys WRT54G is a good router, have had mine for several years now and no problems, even had new firmware released for it a few times.

It has NAT functionality and a basic firewall built in and Linksys are owned by Cisco so you know the build quality is good.

Re: best router

My Linksys WAG54GS has just gone for repair - I think ParcelFarce have tried to deliver it back - but nobody home so I'll doubt I'll ever see it again...

Re: best router

Yep, we got a WRT54G, its a very reliable router, never had many problems from it, apart from the dodgy ethernet cable supplied with it.
