I currently have a WRT400N, I used a DIR 655, and a WRT330N. and I hated them all. They would disconnect me several times a day, lag horribly and are just generally worthless. I had these 3 routers over the course of 3 years, and used when with many PCs and laptops. I have a 100mbit connection at home, and I usually push a lot of data (from the net, and between networked machines), so I need something that can handle the load. I will not buy another Linksys ever again.

Can someone suggest anything decent? I'd even be wiling to get a business router, I just need the damn thing to work!

I too have a 655, the most recent firmware, and disabling QoS made it stop "grinding to a halt" every 3 days. – bobby Jun 24 '10 at 5:21

i think this is a hardware question, not a shopping question. Would have liked to have an answer. – RandyMorris Dec 26 '10 at 5:31

If you want a bullet proof router, buy a used Cisco 2620 on Ebay. You'll need to learn the Cisco command line and networking basics (a fair investment of time), but in return your router will go down when the power fails, not a second before.

That's not really a 'wireless N gigabit home router' though, is it? It's none of those things. – paradroid Sep 7 '10 at 12:11

I have a d-Link DGL-4500 that seems to do well, and it has the best blinking lights ;) I have ever seen in a SOHO router.

I'm using a Netgear WNR3500L with the Tomato firmware. I have a 40Mb downstream and 10Mb upstream VDSL connection and have never had a problem with it, over several months. I highly recommend it.

This site is dedicated to it (Netgear funded I think).
