Once again, I am descending into the depths of router hell. I replaced my old Netgear router with a new Netgear 108mbps wireless router. It turned out to be defective in that it kept rebooting itself, and Netgear tech support could not help me to get it to stop doing that. So, bye bye new router. I've heard evil things about dLink, I see some offbrand routers on the shelf at BestBuy, and then there are the Linksys routers. I'm biased against Linksys because I bought one last year, and it kept rebooting itself once an hour or so. I wasn't sure if it was defective or they hadn't worked out the bugs in the firmware, but I got rid of it real fast. Some of you might remember my adventures in low end crap router hell last year :-).
I don't ask for much - I need a nat table big enough to handle at least 1000 incoming connections, and I know that Linksys can do this. I need about 15+ forwarded ports, and I know for a fact that Linksys can NOT do this, it's limitted to 10 (what rocket scientist decided on this limitation?). Netgear has a tiny nat table, and cannot handle more then about 250 incoming connections. dLink I've not tried, but I've heard a lot of evil things about them from others here. I'd buy a Cisco if I could find a model that was had some good recommendations. So, what is a good router? _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
