Hi all,

After years with my ddwrt-upgradt linksys, it's time for me to upgrade to n, to fully utilize my new laptop.

Haven't paid attention to the router market for 5+ years since I got my g router all happily set. My needs are simple:

1) Reliable. Don't wanna be power cycling the damn thing every two hours, don't want it to be overheating orr otherwise breaking.

2) Ease of ddwrt upgrade. Don't wanna spend all day at it, brick it, or feel like shooting myself.

Suggestions?

thanks for any tips!

Linksys E1000v2 is very cheap(refurbs anyway). also works very well. never need to power cycle. my record with it for internet uptime is 34 days(not router uptime which is much longer). like i said. stable.

Thanks for the replies - helpful getting me focused.

The linksys had crappy newegg reviews, and the suggested netgear doesn't seem to exist (as far as I could tell).

Ended up going with a different netgear: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122326

With $15 off promo code, price wasn't terribad. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks again!
