Thanks for the recommendations! I took a quick look at the WRT54G. It does indeed look like an older Linksys model similar to mine, except with 2 ext. antennas. Will keep this on my short list.
So are there no real advantages/disadvantages to external vs internal antennas? Also, did not realize you could swap out the mfg. firmware for a third party fw. Tomato & dd-wrt I assume I can google and dl? By using either of these fw, it improves on the stock fw? Before reading your responses, I was actually considering the updated version of the WRK54G, the WRT54G2. It has 2 internal antennas and can be had for $46.95 (free shipping) on Amazon. Seems to have good reviews. Any comments on this one? As for the Netgear wnr854t, I also took a quick look on Amazon. Unfortunately it has overwhelming bad reviews. Not just an avg rating, but 2 on a scale of 5. I've learned my lesson the hard way in the past when I've ignored bad reviews and then it turns out I get the same problems others had stated. So I think I may pass on this one. But thanks for the input Nonreality!!! Much appreciated. I guess I should have given some info on my system. Running Windows Vista on Desktop & Windows XP on laptop. All wireless devices are G so I am content with a G only router. If any others can chime in, I would appreciate it. I think whichever choice I make, I will make it by tomorrow so that it can ship on Monday.
