My router might be dying, but I am unsure.
I have a WRTP54G router at home, with 2 phone ports. It's locked by
Vonage, with whom I have VOIP.
Here's my dilemma: I believe the router is dying, but I hate to toss it
if it's just needing some TLC. I am hooked on VOIP, so I need something
that will provide my VOIP connection. Plus I can't just get a new number
as the phone number with Vonage is for my business. I have to retain
the # or carry it over to something new.
What would be a solid, reliable, doesn't-die-every-2-years device, in
the quality ballpark with a Cisco 675 modem/router? If I could find a
better device that I know will work and not give me trouble, I'd switch,
and I'd switch VOIP service, if I can find a better solution, at the
same cost or lower. I pay about $44 per month for my VOIP service, for a
business line.. Which includes 2 lines, one for voice, one for
data/fax/credit card terminal.
Suggestions?

Linksys WRT54GL with your choice of third party firmware. This has been
brought up many times and that seems to be generally accepted as a solid
solution on the cheap. I have had mine since May 2005 (granted it was
just the WRT54G then but same device) and has been a champ ever since.
I've got other ones that family members use that have been working for
almost as long.
