The current routers available on the market have left me unimpressed, I've tried about 4 different brands and they've all had the same problems, constantly crashing, needing rebooting, and rendering various services inoperable ( HTTP servers on them stops working, DNS Relay stops working , that sort of general malaise )

I got an old school Nokia M1122 from a friend which is so rugged it has an uptime counter that hit 120 days and only got rebooted when my ISP had to actually have a listed service outage. Its old and crusty, and I haven't gotten it to connect over 6000kbits, but it does *everything* I want and none of the rubbish and arm flailing I've gotten with other routers.

I'd love to know of any make and models of modern routers that have been proven to not have these problems, especially on an office configuration with 10+ users.

( One model at a place I worked was so bad it literally needed hourly reboots with a 5 minute down time just to get anything done, at the time we put it down to faults in the underlying service or just something that happens, but now I know better )
