Advice on a replacement home office 802.11G router?

[bjarvis]

My old Linksys wireless router died a couple of weeks ago. It was a reliable and functional unit so I decided to replace it with another Linksys unit, esp. since I could just dash down the street to Staples.

Bad move. The WRK54G isn't behaving well. It drops incoming connections, has a high rate of packet loss and is generally very slow in operation. In general, it performs incredibly poorly when compared to its late predecessor.

Anyone have a model of wireless router they would recommend?

A friend has had good luck with a Belkin, not sure of the mod#.

Have you checked sites such as Seattle Wireless to see if there's alternate firmware for the WRK54G? I found a new image for my Linksys access point (WAP54G) and it performs much better, as well as being able to adjust Tx power 8-}.

You've already done the obvious hacks like moving off of channel 6, right?

Yeah, there's no firmware upgrade currently. And yup, one of the first actions on installation was moving to anywhere but channel 6. :-)
