I'd almost guarantee it's the Buffalo WHR-G54S. I've only one so far. It's been at grandma's house doing a 300' link in client mode. It's been installed almost a year now, without a hiccup (not even a reboot as far as I know). Believe it or not, Grandma's picky. And, I she's an hour away so I needed something reliable. It's practically the same hardware as the WRT-54G V1-4 (not the neutered version 5). It's only got one external antenna. But, I'm using the stock di-pole for the 300' window-to-window link. I love it. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7666821&st=wh&type=product&id=1134701703049 $45 (regularly $50) And, check out http://www.dd-wrt.com This is a GREAT hack of the linksys firmware. Has PPTP, VLAN, QOS, SER (VOIP), SSH, HTTPS, Samba, client mode, etc. Great GUI and even skins. If you find a cheaper product, let me know.
