The netgear unit runs embedded linux. There was a hack floating around to get shell access. I think later firmware versions disabled it though. I never tried it. I just want it to do its job (which it does well).

I'd recommend the linksys units based on flexability. I don't know if the WAG runs linux, but the WRT54GL certainly does. However they would need an ethernet/DSL modem still. -----Original Message----- From: Carl Cerecke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 12 September 2006 10:03 a.m. To: [email protected] Subject: Re: OT: ADSL Routers I had the netgear unit for over 12 months. No problems. It occasionally (every 4-6 weeks) loses the ADSL connection (power cycle to reconnect). Not sure if this is a netgear problem or a telecom problem. And I haven't yet upgraded to the latest firmware. Wireless works fine. Cheers, Carl.
