I do some torrent and emule occasionally and the only one that handles the QOS right has been a WHR-HP-G54 running tomato firmware. It worked a lot better than the classic WRT54G/GL/GS with tomato, and also a lot better than the cisco E2000 running tomato. I bought and tested a bunch or tomato capable routers including the newer gigabit speed ones, and theWHR-HP-G54 handled the QOS and traffic a lot better than any of the others.
I love tomato firmware because of the real time pie graph you can view to see if your QOS settings are working right. Change a setting and watch the graph. If something works or doesn't work, you can see it immediately. lopaka ________________________________ From: "Naushad, Zulfiqar" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, October 3, 2011 4:45:14 AM Subject: Re: [H] Best Router I also had the WNDR3700 but it gave me incessant issues.

I've had good luck with this router: http://www.amazon.com/RT-N56U-Wireless-N-Hardware-Internal-Graphical/dp/ B0049YQVHE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1317642261&sr=8-1 Best Regards, Zulfiqar Naushad -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Anthony Q. Martin Sent: Monday, October 03, 2011 2:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [H] Best Router While I'm not unhappy with my netgear WNDR3700, I'm wondering if the WNDR4500 is the one to have now to get the best 2.4/5GHz coverage and for the supposedly faster DLNA via the 2 USB 3.0 ports. Is this a worthy upgrade from the WNDR3700? Note that since I stream my media over a 1Gbit network, I don't need this for streaming. But backing up various machines over the network would be worthwhile. Also, having a better signal downstairs on the other end of the house (relative to the router location) would be plus for tablets, phones, and laptops.
