Hi All - I managed to brick my Cisco/Linksys router by updating the firmware (making sure everything connected to the internet was up to date seemed like a good cold day project - NOT). After a vigorous argument with Linksys “support” (rant omitted), I find myself needing a new router, so I have two questions:
1. Can anyone suggest a decent, reliable, preferably reasonably priced router for home use? (one or two computer network) 2. If I’m only occasionally connecting a second computer, would I be better off just connecting the satellite modem directly to my iMac and using internet sharing when needed? Is a Mac behind a router any safer than a Mac connected directly?
