I have some media flex units here. They work REALLY well!!! If you have
a house that a normal wireless router has trouble covering, this unit
seems to do a much better job
Cisco 851's run about $$300 and the 871's run about $450.

I agree with Jeromie on this. Everytime I run into a WRT54G/GS I load DDWRT on
them. I have NEVER had a problem out of these home routers after doing that if
they are setup correctly. Last I looked, they had many more coversions of home
routers with athero's chipsets(DDWRT). I have even used
I already responded, but a bit late on this thread. I have a USB flash drive
loaded with all flashes of DD-WRT that I carry all the time. Anytime I run into
a WRT54g/ GL/ gs/ I have all DD-WRT firmware to zap them. Best thing since
sliced bread if you ask me.
