[TriLUG] OT: best home wireless router?

[Carl Crider]

After my Linksys got "fried" awhile back, I got my my hands on a
Netgear WPN824 unit. Although I do miss running open firmware (there
may be one available now), this router does everything I need it to
do. Plus, the range is fantastic out of the box.
