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.

Thanks again!
