Hi, I'm looking for the best home router to use with openssh.
I know, I know - it seems like a silly question. However I have found that different brands seem to do a better job of keeping ssh connections open. I cannot remember the brand but at least one router I bought in the past would not keep a connection for more than 5 minutes. It was a known issue acknowleged by the company who made it. They had optimized it for connection-less http etc. Currently I run a linksys and it works ok but drops connections randomly and never can hold one for more than 8 hours or so. I've accepted this as just part of life until this weekend when I used the wireless at a hotel. It kept my connection for more than 24 hours no problem. So I've come to ask - can anyone recommend a particular brand/model of home router that they have had good luck with? I'm running: windows xp + putty to local linux box. from the linux box i use screen to connect to many different hosts. I can confirm it is not a windows issue only because the linux box will drop the connections too (it is not a host issue either, they are not dropping idle shell sessions - plus it all worked great over the weekend on the hotel's wireless). Thanks for any ideas!
